Kakheti is the most easterly region of Georgia. It's also the principal wine making region and has some magnificent scenery.

Is Georgia the eastern end of Europe or the gateway to Asia? This the eternal question about Georgia, a small, strategically located country, coveted through the ages for its wealth of natural resources. But that is not all it is. Whilst the country is unknown, it is also a prime destination for people who want to go off the beaten path, where life is not prohibitively expensive and nature blends perfectly with the spectacular architecture of Georgia’s monasteries, churches and other religious buildings. From the capital, Tbilisi, teeming with museums, to the snow-capped mountains and the coastal beaches, Georgia is the ideal staging post for exploring, discovering and enjoying the region. You might continue further north-east into Georgia's neighbour, Russia. Whether you go for a short stay or for longer, do not hold back: you will find much to discover in Georgia.

The site of Djavri is quite simply staggering. It looks like it was inspired by god rather than built by men. It's visible from the four corners of the valley which lead to Tbilisi from Kartlie.
According to the legend, in the 4th century Saint NIno planted the first cross (djvari in Georgian) in Georgia there (made from grapevines) , before converting the royal family in Mtskheta.
Afterwards the Georgian kings had a monastery built of which only the church remains today. But what splendid remains! As well as being beautifully perched right on the edge of a rocky peak, Djvari is the best example of 7th century Caucasian style, an architectural design unique to Orthodox churches. People from Tbilisi often go to Djvari to get married, so if you go there on a Saturday you may be able to see the site during a celebration.
