Alazani Valley
The views in the Alazan Valley are amazing! It's called that by the name of the Alazani River. This wonderful valley is perfect for viticulture - everything is miraculously combined: the purest water of mountain rivers, healing mountain air, suitable soil and gentle valley climate.
Did you know that a real viticulturist doesn't water his bushes? So that the roots grow deep and absorb water with minerals dissolved in it from the deepest rock. There you go! In the Alazan Valley there are about 40 varieties of endemic grapes for wine.

Bodbe Monastery (ბოდბის მონასტერი)
Above the Alazan valley is the Bodbi monastery, where the relics of St. Nina rest. That's where she struggled at the sunset of her earthly life. Then a church was founded there, and later a monastery. In the Middle Ages, they were anointed there to the kingdom of the Katekhin kings. In Soviet times, the monastery was abolished. It's now restored.
The holy spring is not far away. You can get some water and take a dip.
