The Monastery’s Vineyard

Wine, which has always been a basic component of the human diet, holds an even more special place in the lives of the monks. It is served on feast-days, while nama (a sweet red wine) is used in the celebration of the sacrament of Holy Communion, which is the central and most important event in a monk’s life.
