Kakheti is the easternmost region of Georgia. It was an independent feudal monarchy since the fall of the early Georgian kingdom of Iberia c. 580 until being finally integrated into the unified Kingdom of Georgia in 1105. Kakheti seceded, in 1490, to form an independent kingdom ruled by a branch of the Bagrationi Dynasty and was united with the neighboring Kingdom of Kartli through the personal union in 1762.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“There was about all the Romans a heroic tone peculiar to ancient life. Their virtues were great and noble, and these virtues made them great and noble. They possessed a natural majesty that was not put on and taken off at pleasure, as was that of certain eastern monarchs when they put on or took off their garments of Tyrian dye. It is hoped that this is not wholly lost from the world, although the sense of earthly vanity inculcated by Christianity may have swallowed it up in humility.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
