Telavi is the administrative capital of Kakheti and a better base than Sighnaghi if you're serious about wineries — it sits in the center of the Alazani Valley, within 40 minutes of Alaverdi Cathedral, Gremi royal citadel, Tsinandali Estate, and dozens of qvevri-producing family cellars. The town itself has an 8th-century plane tree, a small fortress, and Alexander Chavchavadze's palace on the outskirts. Less photogenic than Sighnaghi but more practical for a 2–3-night wine-focused stay.
