🏺 Regional Heritage & Historical Significance
The Bobnevi Valley is among the most ancient inhabited areas of Georgia and is protected as a recreational and cultural zone by the Gori Municipality.
Nearby historical landmarks include:
-
🕍 Ateni Sioni Monastery – 7th century, just 1.5 km from the site. One of the oldest Christian churches in Georgia, featuring early frescoes.
-
⛪ Assyrian Monastery – 6th century, only 2 km away, still functioning as a spiritual center.
-
🏛 Uplistsikhe Cave City – 1st millennium BCE, located 14 km from the retreat. An ancient rock-hewn Silk Road city.

🧑🏫 Stalin Museum (Gori) – located 18 km from the retreat. Museum dedicated to Joseph Stalin’s birthplace.

🍇 Wine region of Shida Kartli – with Chinbuli vineyards starting 5–10 km from the site.
Georgia is the birthplace of winemaking — the place where wine culture began.
This is not a theory, but a proven archaeological and historical fact, recognized worldwide.
More than 8,000 years ago, Georgians developed the Qvevri fermentation method, burying large clay vessels (qvevri) underground to allow natural fermentation with skins and stems.
This method continues today and is inscribed by UNESCO as part of humanity’s intangible heritage.
Georgia gave wine to the world — a timeless gift from its ancient soil to all of humanity.
🛤 The Bobnevi Valley was part of the ancient Silk Road, the trade route that linked East and West. Caravans passed through these lands, leaving cultural layers still present in local traditions and architecture.
♨️ Just a few kilometers from the property are natural thermal springs, known for their mineral-rich water and healing properties. These springs have been used locally for centuries and offer significant potential for wellness tourism.
