Alaverdi Monastery Marani

Open every day, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Alaverdi Monastery, built in 1011 in Akhmeta Municipality, Kakheti, has a wine cellar on the site of an earlier 8th-10th century cellar; winemaking was revived in 2006 after the Bishop renovated the cellar and installed new qvevri. Traditional white and red qvevri wines and Chacha are produced there, alongside a 102-variety sample vineyard of Georgian grapes adjacent to the Cathedral.
