Racha-Lechkhumi and Lower Svaneti

The region spans 4,954 square kilometers across mountain ranges, valleys, and forests, containing three cities and 251 villages within its boundaries.

The territory encompasses ancient provinces of Racha, Lechkhumi, and Kvemo Svaneti, which maintained distinct cultural identities throughout centuries of Georgian history.

Local communities preserve traditional crafts in woodworking and textile production, while maintaining centuries-old methods of winemaking in earthenware vessels.

Ambrolauri Airport connects the region to Tbilisi, while national roads provide access to neighboring regions of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti and Imereti.

The Khvanchkara microzone produces grapes with exceptionally high sugar content, enabling the creation of naturally semi-sweet wines specific to this territory.
