The village's location in the fertile Kakheti region of Georgia, which is renowned for its wine and agricultural production, also contributes to the high quality and unique flavor of the products. Manavi honey, on the other hand, is produced by local beekeepers using traditional methods and without the use of pesticides or other chemicals.

About Tbilisi
Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, spills along a river gorge beneath a fortress, mixing balconied old houses, sulphur baths and bold modern landmarks.
The old town gathers along the Mtkvari River, its narrow streets lined with carved wooden balconies, churches and wine bars. Abanotubani, the bath district, is crowned by brick domes over sulphur springs, and the walls of Narikala Fortress overlook it all, reached by cable car or a steep walk. The Mother of Georgia statue stands on the ridge holding a sword and a bowl of wine.
