▶ Documentary The secret of the Caucasus
Georgia has protected its artistic heritage and been able to maintain the vibrancy of its unique traditions. It has conserved a biodiversity greater than that of some continents, and has a magnetism which draws people back to visit over and over again. Although as small as Switzerland, Georgia is big in all aspects; a progressive nation, European in attitude and Western in spirit; a real Caucasian country with the joy of the Mediterranean.
The vast vineyards of the Eastern Region of Kakheti, home to the largest wineries in the nation, are a clear illustration of this passion. In Georgia, there are a considerable number of grape varieties, more than anywhere else in the world. Most of them are used to make high-quality wines as prestigious as Tsinandali, Mukuzani, Theliani or Napareuli, all of which have received gold, silver and bronze medal awards in international competitions.
The care of the grape pickers and the meticulous selection process during the harvest, have led to Georgian wines enjoying worldwide recognition. According to archaeological research, Georgia is at the very cradle of wine culture, as grapes have been cultivated in this area for 7,000 years. It may even be true that the generic word for this most ancient of alcoholic drinks is derived from the Georgian word “gvino” And in some “marani”, or traditional wine cellars, such as this one in the town of Gurjaani, grapes are still pressed by foot in wooden vats to avoid crushing the seeds, which would give the wine a bitter taste.
In Kakheti, almost everything revolves around wine. Proof of this is the XVI century wine cellar in Velistsikhe, in which the traditional “kvevri” are still used: clay barrels buried underground that maintain a constant temperature to ensure optimal fermentation.
These fossilized grapes from the Neolithic Age and the discovery of vessels from the III century B.C., prove that since Prehistory, wine has played a key socioeconomic role in this region.

Грузия - Кахетия 4К (Georgia, Kakheti, Gurjaani, Zegaani, Tsinandali)
Грузия - Кахетия: Гурджаани, Зегаани, Цинандали.
Кахе́тия — край и историческая область на востоке Грузии, в верховьях рек Иори и Алазани. До VIII века область входила в Картлийское царство, затем самостоятельное княжество. С XII века в Грузинском царстве. Со второй половины XV века — Кахетинское царство, с 1762 года в Картлийско-Кахетинском царстве. С 1801 в Российской империи. Столица — Телави.
Территория монастырского комплекса Зегаани окружена невысокой каменной стеной, внутри которой сохранилось три культовых сооружения. Древнейшим из них является небольшая молельня, расположенная рядом с большой базиликой. Датируют ее, как уже было отмечено, рубежом IV-V столетий. Время сильно порушило ее, но в начале 2010-х годов храм был восстановлен. Под ним, прямо под входной дверью было обнаружено древнее захоронение и покоящиеся в нем мощи.Храм Всех Святых самый большой из трех. Он представляет собой трехнефную базилику, к которой в леовй от входа стороны пристроен флигель, вероятно, использовавшийся в каких-то культовых целях.
Дом-музей Александра Чавчавадзе в Цинандали - это место известное и во многом символичное. Отсюда началась европеизация Грузии, отсюда началось грузинское виноделие в том виде, который мы имеем сейчас, отсюда же началась грузинско-русская интеграция в светлых своих формах. Сейчас здесь находится музей, парк, винохранилище и дегустационный зал.
Чавчавадзе познакомил российскую аристократию с грузинской культурой, а грузинскую аристократию - с российской и европейской. Это был, наверное, первый человек в Грузии, который оценил Россию не за её православность а из соображений чисто практических - таких людей в Грузии по сей день единицы. Он умер в 1846 году. Его дочь Нина была замужем за Грибоедовым, вторая дочь Екатерина вышла замуж за Давида Дадиани и стала матерью последнего князя независимой Мегрелии, сын Давид (1817 - 1884) стал генералом и воевал с Шамилем.

Episode 9 - Georgia - Kakheti province / 365 days off - Travel around the world
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. The reason for that? The previous week we noticed a bunch of preparation going on the main street (Rustaveli Avenue). We found out the MAy the 26th is the Georgian independence day (it’s also the birthday of a very special person by the way). So we came back and we were not disappointed at all (even though we did not find any cervelas to grill). During that day, we saw:
- The Georgian president swearing in the new recruits of the army
- The main street close to traffic, full of artists, tasting booths and children dressup up in Georgian colors
The crazy brass band of the American army. They played “in the mood” while dancing
- Tanks, police car and fire trucks overwhelmed by children trying to test everything in them (especially the horn)
WE DID SPECIFICALLY ENJOY:
- Gremi, the castle, the church and the museum. Wonderful views from one of the tower.
- The semi sweet red wine from Khareba, better tasted in their wine tunnels.
ACCOMMODATION
- Schuchmann Winery, beautiful house on the hill overlooking the valley. Comfortable rooms plus a great swimming pool (ask Daniel about that!).
- Dzveli Ubani, nice guest house located in romantic Sighnaghi. The owner is very sweet and her breakfast is 100% homemade!
RESTAURANTS
- Pancho Villa, the only mexican restaurant in the country, so much fun to have fajitas and margaritas in the middle of Georgia. The owner is adorable and the cocina so caliente!
- Schuchmann Restaurant @ Schuchmann Winery, a very good surprise! The food is excellent and the staff very professional, their wine of course is great.
BEST KEPT SECRET TIP
This week the best secret tip is not really a secret tip but just a note to not miss the Alaverdi Monastery when visiting the region. After a drive on a road lined with huge poplars, the monastery finally shows up and I (Magali) immediately loved it!
Тбилиси. Орёл и Решка. Перезагрузка-3 (English subtitles)
Орёл и Решка. Перезагрузка-3 (Heads and Tails. Reloaded) в столице солнечной и гостеприимной Грузии - городе Тбилиси (Tbilisi, Georgia)! Этот уик-энд был вызовом для Насти Ивлеевой и Евсея Ковалева. Ведь грузинская кухня такая вкусная, а вино льется рекой. Невозможно устоять. За два дня мы узнали практически все о виноделии Грузии и смогли поучаствовать в приготовлении домашнего вина. Нас переносил в прошлое Тбилиси современный футуристический мост Мира. Мы поправили здоровье в знаменитых серных банях; наслаждались уникальным грузинским многоголосием в церкве Святого Давида на горе Мтацминда; научились танцевать грузинские народные танцы и посетили древний город в скалах - Вардзия.
