Telavi
Telavi is the administrative center of the region, famous for its 900-year-old plane tree. Here you will encounter cultural monuments from different periods, ancient settlements, palace ruins, fortresses, and temples of special significance. The area is also home to several resorts, offering both health benefits and pleasant relaxation.
In the center of Telavi, one of the most beautiful streets is named after Kakutsa Cholokashvili. The street is distinguished by its architecture and is home to an important medieval monument — the Church of the Virgin Mary.
Telavi is one of the main routes of Georgia’s “Wine Road,” so you should not miss the chance to visit both family-owned wineries and large wine factories. These can be found both in the city and in the villages of the Telavi district.
In some family wineries, you will be offered wine tastings, traditional Georgian dishes, and a Kakhetian feast accompanied by folk music.
