The church known as Usaneti was built in Vachnadziani, two hundred metres from the Kashueti church. The name attached to the place rather than to a dedication, as often happens with Kakhetian village churches.
Vachnadziani belongs to Gurjaani Municipality and lies in the thick of the Kakhetian vineyards. It is a large village with several churches of different ages within walking distance. Gurjaani and the road to Telavi are both a short hop away.
Photography inside is best agreed with whoever looks after the church. The site remains part of the everyday life of the area, and that deserves respect.
