Kakheti is for couples who care about the table rather than the city: a long dinner among the vines, a tasting instead of the standard welcome drink, and vineyards that turn golden in autumn.
The formats differ from the capital: wineries with their own hall and terrace, vineyard houses, open courtyards. An hour and a half from Tbilisi — and the day runs at another pace.
Choose this direction if you are ready to move guests and have them stay near the venue: the winery atmosphere is paid for in logistics, and that is a fair trade.
Kakheti Wineries and vineyards- Guests have to be driven from Tbilisi and housed nearby — the return transfer and a night go into the estimate.
- September and October are beautiful and busy: dates at the good wineries go early.
When to set the ceremony
Sunset matters not as the time of the ceremony but as the edge of the light. Two windows are counted from it: the soft colour a ceremony sits well in, and the golden hour we keep free for the shoot. Computed for the 15th of each month, local sunset.
The ceremony goes into the first window — roughly 3:30 to 1:00 before sunset. We have no «only at sunset» rule: that is a special case, not a script.
Frequent questions
How much does a wedding in Kakheti cost
The benchmark is from $25,000. The difference from Tbilisi is not the venue but the logistics: a return transfer for the guests and accommodation near the site.
When is the best time for a Kakheti wedding
September and October: harvest, golden vines and better terms from venues. It is also the busiest season — dates are booked well in advance.
Where do guests stay
Next to the venue: most wineries have their own hotel or guest houses minutes away. We plan the night from the start — nobody wants the drive back to Tbilisi after dinner.
