Kakheti, Administrative region in eastern Georgia
Kakheti extends across 11.3 square kilometers of mountains, valleys, and agricultural lands, with Telavi serving as its administrative center point.
The second kingdom of Kakheti emerged in 1465 during the division of the Kingdom of Georgia and maintained its independence until 1762.
The region produces three-quarters of Georgia's wine grapes, maintaining traditional winemaking methods with clay vessels called Qvevri for thousands of years.
The region contains eight municipalities, including Telavi, Akhmeta, Gurjaani, and Sighnaghi, connected by a network of roads through mountainous terrain.
The David Gareji monastery complex, dating from the 6th century, features caves with medieval frescoes carved into the mountain slopes.
