The church of Saint George with the qualifier Amidasturi stands in the northern part of Vachnadziani. The added word works as a distinguishing mark: the same village holds another church of Saint George about a kilometre to the south-west, and without the qualifier the two are easily confused. The word itself appears to be a local or family name rather than a second dedication.
Vachnadziani lies north-west of Gurjaani, along the road towards Telavi. Besides the two churches of Saint George there is the Kashueti church, whose name echoes the Tbilisi church on Rustaveli Avenue, and one of the Virgin in the southern part. Four buildings in one village is a lot for Kakheti.
The church is open from morning to evening. Dress with shoulders and knees covered, a headscarf for women, and speak quietly on the grounds.
