When my wife came to visit me we decided to visit the Alazani Valley in Kakheti east of Tbilisi. Kakheti divided in two by the Gombori Mountains shaping Iori Valley on the west and the Alazani Valley on the east.
Alazani valley is famous (at least in Georgia) for its wine. According the official tourist homepage wine is everything to a Kakhetian - it is the purpose of his life, it is his pride, his hope and his main source of income.
The Alazani Valley is beautifully situated between the Gombori and Caucasus Mountains.
We did not put so much emphasis on the wine as on the exploring the valley and its many churches and monasteries, including the impressive Alaverdi monastery.
The first two days it was cold with limited visibility but the last day the sun was shining and the sky was clear.
