Kakheti is a historical province in Eastern Georgia inhabited by Kakhetians who speak a local dialect of Georgian. Kakheti has traditionally been subdivided into four parts: Inner Kakheti along the right bank of the Alazani River, Outer Kakheti along the middle Iori River basin, Qiziki between the Alazani and the Iori, and Thither Kakheti on the left bank of the Alazani. It also includes the medieval region of Hereti whose name has fallen into gradual oblivion since the 15th century.
Kakheti is associated with the hectares of cultivated vineyards looked after and cared by the diligent and hard-working Kakhetians. The Vine 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 man with a good vineyard is always wealthy and welcomes a guest with an open heart. Hospitability is typical of Kakhetians.
