(Forbes) - Enjoying the food, wine and hospitality of Georgia within the capital city of Tbilisi (as described in Part I of this article) is just the beginning — to really experience all the country has to offer, the wine regions are worth the journey. Along the way you’ll experience Georgia’s natural beauty, the monasteries and churches that dot the hillsides and rivers — even monasteries that make wine — and learn the ways of the Supra, a true Georgian feast.

The Wine Regions

Kakheti is Georgia’s main wine region, and if you’re only going to tour one region, it’s the obvious choice. Pheasant's Tears, in the hillside town of Sighnaghi, not only makes fantastic wines, but has a must-visit restaurant and wine bar. Schuchmann Wines also runs a beautiful hotel and spa. Château Mere in Telavi, home of Winiveria Winery, has a castle tower, outdoor pool and restaurant and hotel.
