Dzalisa - Excavations in the 1970s at Dzalisa, near Georgia’s old capital of Mtskheta, revealed the remains of a Roman town dating to the 1st-4th centuries AD. It is considered to be one of the most significant archaeological sites of the Classical period in the kingdom of Kartli (Iberia) and has been identified as Zalissa, a town mentioned by the 2nd century AD Greek geographer Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus) in his “Geographical Handbook”.
Inter-crossing streets and squares, paved with brick slabs , public, dwelling, as well cultic buildings, adorned with outstanding mosaics, baths, water supplying system and traces of sewage system are in evidence and are evidence of a sophisticated urban life in the Iberian kingdom.
One of the most impressive discoveries so far is a 2nd century A.D. color mosaic depicting Dionysus, the god of the grape harvest, wine-making and wine, and his wife Ariadne, the daughter of the legendary Minos and Pasiphaë.
Scenic viewpoints along the route offer amazing views of mixed forest-covered hilly landscape of Algeti National Park. While on the trail you may come across deer, rabbit, wild boar and various species of birds.
Preserved by its long isolation, the Upper Svaneti region of the Caucasus is an exceptional example of mountain scenery with medieval-type villages and tower-houses. The village of Chazhashi still has more than 200 of these very unusual houses, which were used both as dwellings and as defence posts against the invaders who plagued the region.
Tour to Vardzia monastery complex is a great opportunity to spend pleasant weekend in Georgia. This is easy but eventful journey to one of the most historic regions of Georgia. In conclusion, exploring amizing architectural monuments, rocky towns and beautiful nature will give you a lot of unforgettable memory.
The historic region of Imereti in western Georgia is the region of the legendary Golden Fleece – this is where the long quest for the Golden Fleece took Jason and the Argonauts.
The total area of Imereti Caves Protected Areas amounts to 504.6 ha and includes Sataplia Nature Reserve (330 ha), Sataplia Managed Reserve (34 ha), Promethe Cave Natural Monuments (46.6 ha) and 17 Natural Monuments.

Stunning place. Zaza and his co-owners could not have been better hosts, with delicious and plentiful food, a tour of the vineyard and the winery itself, and a chance to experience some of Georgia's more unique grape varieties. Definitely check it out!

We had a great holiday with Zaza. He is friendly, knowledgeable and willing to talk about anything. His approach was very flexible, so both he and we included additional things based on our interests. He is punctual and is very free with his time. We learned a lot and had a very pleasurable trip to Georgia. We had Zaza’s Saperavi wine at his vineyard, together with a great meal. I thought his wine was the best one we had on our trip, and we tried a lot of wines!

Reaching here in the middle of a road trip, “Zaza” was a great host who explained all the mastery of Georgian winemaking and let us taste their products while detailing differences between grapes and tastes. I enjoyed every moment here and definitely worth it.

Проездом (случайно) зашли в ресторан Artozani в Телави. Понравилось оформление заведения, меню и ответственный подход к делу хозяина (его имя Лаша). Очень понравилось качество подаваемого вина.
За разговором с Лашей выяснилось, что вино он делает сам, и это семейное дело (отец Лаши развивает свою небольшую винодельню).
Так мы познакомились с отцом Лаши - Зазой.
Заза в дальнейшем провел нам исключительно познавательную и выпивательную (смысл про вино говорить и нормально его не пить??) экскурсию по виноделию и району Телави.
В результате Телави (да и вся Грузия) заиграли для нас новыми красками :).
Без преувеличения, на таких людях все и держится в этом мире. Тех, кто любит свое непростое дело, и делают его честно, с душой.
Всем очень рекомендуем к посещению и ресторан Artozani и винодельню Wine trails. Узнаете из первых рук много нового по виноделию,по истории Телави, а самое главное, получите Море добрых и позитивных эмоций!
Желаю этим прекрасным людям процветания бизнеса!
