Kakheti (Georgian: კახეთი) is a region (Georgian: Mkhare) formed in the 1990s in eastern Georgia from the historical province of Kakheti and the small, mountainous province of Tusheti. Telavi is its capital. The region comprises eight administrative districts: Telavi, Gurjaani, Kvareli, Sagarejo, Dedoplistsqaro, Signagi, Lagodekhi and Akhmeta. Kakheti is bordered by the Russian Federation to the Northeast, Azerbaijan to the Southeast, and the Georgian regions of Mtskheta-Mtianeti and Kvemo Kartli to the west.
The Georgian David Gareja monastery complex is partially located in this province and is subject to a border dispute between Georgian and Azerbaijani authorities.
Beyond the modern-day administrative subdivision into the districts, Kakheti has traditionally been subdivided into four parts: Inner Kakheti (შიდა კახეთი, Shida Kakheti) to the east of Tsiv-Gombori mountain range, along the right bank of the Alazani River; Outer Kakheti (გარე კახეთი, Gare Kakheti) along the middle Iori River basin; Kiziq'i (ქიზიყი) between the Alazani and the Iori; Thither Area (გაღმა მხარი, Gaghma Mkhari) on the left bank of the Alazani. It also includes the medieval region of Hereti whose name has fallen into gradual oblivion since the 15th century.

Kakheti, Georgia
Kakheti is Georgia's main wine-producing region in the country's east. Wine grapes have been cultivated in these lands for 8,000 years, which, archaeologists say, makes Kakheti the cradle of wine. A total of 104 endemic varieties of grapes grow at the Alaverdi Monastery of Saint George, which traces its history back to the sixth century. The unique Georgian way of making wine was passed on by the Orthodox monks through the ages. "Wine making began here from the very first days of the monaster… READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2015/06/15/kakheti-georgia-s-cradle-of-wine What are the top stories today?

Banquets with their alternation of ritualized toasts and collective singing are considered by Georgians as a major component of national identity. Verbal art and musical art are bound together in a unique way. Georgian banquets conventionally are the prerogative of men. Master folk singer Andro Simashvili, known as Andro Papa, leads his friends at a classical men’s banquet. On the other hand, renowned female singer Leila Legashvili is the toastmaster at a women’s banquet, where Andro Simashvili is ...
Kakheti is justly renowned as the most important wine-growing region of Georgia. Every village produces its own kind of wine, some of which will rival more famous labels like Tsinandali or Napareuli. Throughout the region you can knock on any door for direction and find yourself 5 seconds later with a glass of wine in hand and an invitation to stay the afternoon to drink and eat. The most visited towns in Kakheti are Telavi and Signagi. Telavi is considered as the administrative and cultural center of this region. Rich in gardens and streets with oak and walnut trees Telavi clearly retains the pleasure of small city. Small town Signagi also called Town of Love has been renovated three years ago. Narrow, tortuous streets and wooden balconies create some special atmosphere. The old part ...
LAST GEORGIAN STOP: KAKHETI, THE WINE ROUTE AND SO MUCH MORE After having spent quite some time in the capital and for our last destination within Georgia, we decided to explore the eastern part aka the Kakheti region. We rented a car for 4 days and drove through the Wine Route. The area is full of fantastic monasteries and nunneries immersed in the vineyards. We slept in a beautiful winery and tried the semi sweet red wine, what a blast! The fruity taste and the slightly fizzy beverage conquered us immediately. We highly recommend visiting the area not only for wine tasting but also for its rich history. Did you know that one of the king of Kakheti sent his troops to liberate Jerusalem from the Seljuk Turks in the 11th century? Back from Kakheti, we spent two more days in Tbilisi. Th...

Georgia Travel Video Guide - JWith sublimely perched old churches, watchtowers and castles dotting its fantastic mountain scenery, Georgia has to be one of the most beautiful countries on earth. This is a place where (except in the drabber, Soviet-built sectors of some towns) the human hand has much enhanced that of nature. Finally putting post-Soviet internal strife and economic stagnation behind it, Georgia is now developing its tourism potential and making the full range of its attractions safely and readily accessible to travellers. Appealing accommodation for all budgets is becoming available across the country and opportunities for exploring by foot, horse or vehicle are expanding fast.

Wo oh oh

Now baby I been thinking bout how you been acting strange
and baby I been thinking how so many things have changed
in my life, in my home, in my bed
said I remember how you used to love
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the key on your way
catch a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
Now boy I can remember how I used to foot the bill
and yes I do regret the day I took your broke ass in
to my life, to my home, to my bed
said that I must have lost my head
I guess you thought that I'd let you walk on me like the floor
I gues you thought that you'd keep tracking dirt inside my door
you got it all wrong
it's been too long
all of the love is gone
now I'm singing you this song
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the key on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
You must have thought that you were getting over for so long
but I was giving you the chance to make things right from being so wrong
but your time is up, took too long, I don't wanna hear it
get your shirt, shoes, pants and draws up from outta here
Oh oh oh oh
wo oh ooh wo
woo woo oh
Like you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
Oh oh oh
