Kvareli

Kvareli (Georgian: ყვარელი, pronounced [qʼʷaɾeli]) is a town in northeastern in Kakheti Province, Georgia. Located in the Alazani Valley, near the foothills of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, it was the birthplace of Georgian author Ilia Chavchavadze, whose one-storied house is preserved as a local museum.

The area is in the center of the Kakheti wine-producing region, and the town itself is known for its Kindzmarauli wine, a semisweet red variety.

The town of Kvareli is located in the Alazani valley, approximately 134 km from the capital of Tbilisi. It has a moderately humid subtropical climate, with moderately cold winters and hot summers.

In 1755, a battle took place when the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti protected the local fortress from Muhammad-nutsal IV. The casualties of the kingdom were only light, and this event is remembered as the Battle of Kvareli.
