Grapes To Wine
The Khaketi region, known as the cradle of Georgian winemaking, has been cultivating grapes for over 8,000 years. According to legend, King Pharnavaz planted the first vines here, guided by the gods. The region’s unique climate nurtured indigenous grapes like Saperavi and Rkatsiteli, which continue to thrive today. Saperavi is known for its full-bodied reds, while Rkatsiteli creates crisp whites, both integral to Georgia’s rich winemaking heritage.

A Church With A View
In the 18th century, Vakhushti Batonishvili wrote about how, during times of danger, the precious treasures of Mtskheta, including the revered St. Nino’s cross, were hidden away at this church for protection. Centuries later, in 1988, Soviet authorities decided to build a cable car line to the church, with one of the stations placed right next to it. For the locals, this felt like a desecration of their sacred place. In protest, they destroyed the station, protecting their cherished site from further intrusion.
