Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Palace
Batonis Tsikhe
Batonis Tsikhe brings together fortified walls and buildings of Telavi’s former royal complex. Check collections and open areas with the museum.
Monastery
Alaverdi Monastery
Alaverdi is recognisable by its large cathedral in the Kakheti plain. Respect services and distinguish a religious visit from activities offered by neighbouring estates.
Historic site
Gremi citadel and church
Gremi preserves a church and remains of the ancient capital of Kakheti. Stairs and archaeological areas require follow-up to the reported accesses.
House museum
Tsinandali Estate
Tsinandali combines home, garden and memory of the Chavchavadzé family. Visits to the museum, park and wine-growing areas have their own modalities.
