Georgia is mostly a mountainous country with the Caucasus mountains running along the entire length of the country and the rest of it merging with the Armenian highlands. One of the vast stretches of plain lands lies to the east – the Alazani valley, home to the famous Georgian wines! That’s where we are going in this blog. We’ll learn more about grapes and wine as we tour vineyards and the beautiful towns of Sighnaghi and Telavi in the Kakheti region of Georgia.

It was Day 6 of the trip and we started our day at Stepantsminda. I opened the curtains to see the Gergeti church and Kazbek mountain one more time before packing our bags. We said goodbye to this beautiful mountain town in Kazbegi and started our drive to Telavi – the main city of the Kakheti region.
