The Oldest Newest Wine Region in the World

"A working monastery outside Tbilisi with an old stone cellar where monks make qvevri-aged wines as part of their spiritual labor; long-aged bottles yield complex, savory results (a 2004 Mtsvane suggested nuts and smoke after 13 years in qvevri; a 2007 Saperavi was dark, curranty, and tart). The monks reject filtration and additives as disrespectful, view wine as sacred and communal, and produce it with a purpose of hospitality and making people happy rather than profit." - Ray Isle

It’s a great place! You have an amazing view. Especially it’s great during sunset or sunrise. But it may be extremely windy sometimes there

The Monastery is not far from Tbilisi. Around 40 minutes. Its beautiful and the road to this church is not too bad. You can also see the Tbilisi view from this church.

Small but pretty and well maintained monastery high above Tbilisi and its valley, with a small church and lovely view making it worth a quick visit. Easy to get to, with paved road and free parking at the gates.

Very beautiful scenic view of Tbilisi and surroundings from this monastery. Unfortunately the new Tbilisi Hills community development has limited the road access from the Tbilisi side. You may have to come from the highway on the other side.

Nice and quiet church with great view of Tbilisi and Kumisi areas. Easy to access with narrow but asphalt road. Great picnic spots around it.
