The church is dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. In common speech it is called old, but local tradition gives no exact date of building, and no century is stated in this description: that can only be clarified from documents.
Kuchatani has turned out to be a dense cluster: three churches fit within a hundred and twenty metres here, each with its own dedication, the Nativity of the Virgin, the Resurrection and Saint George. The village lies west of Kvareli, among the vineyards of the same neighbourhood that yields the Kindzmarauli wines.
There is no fixed schedule of services and the site can be approached at any time. The three churches can be walked in a few minutes, so the stop is short and fits well into a wine route through the Kvareli villages. The rules are those of any working church: covered shoulders and knees, quiet.
