Moldavanskoye – Church, Memorial Stone and Wine Route

• Services at the Church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana are held on Saturdays, Sundays and church holidays. Check the schedule locally before visiting.
• Bishop Feognost of Novorossiysk and Gelendzhik consecrated the church on January 25, 2015.
• A memorial stone erected in 2015 stands at the site of the destroyed Church of Saint John Chrysostom.
• The tourist route “Wine Roads of the Krasnodar Region” passes through Moldavanskoye, among other places.

The Church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana connects a specific local history with a regular schedule of services: they are held on weekends and church holidays. This distinction is useful when planning a visit, as the stated schedule lists days but not times. Its consecration on January 25, 2015, by Bishop Feognost of Novorossiysk and Gelendzhik provides a historical reference point.

Another remembrance concerns the destroyed Church of Saint John Chrysostom. The memorial stone, erected in 2015, marks its location; Saint Martyr Grigory Konokotin served at this church. The church and memorial stone thus represent different aspects of Moldavanskoye’s religious history: services at the consecrated Church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana and remembrance of a former church site.

A custom is also among the town’s cultural themes: cultural workers from Moldavanskoye presented the Mărțișor custom and affirmed it as a celebration of the first day of spring for Moldovans. This account complements the religious landmarks with a tradition associated with the start of spring. When looking for a hotel in Moldavanskoye, you can first consider whether to focus your stay mainly on local cultural themes or on a regional route.

The “Wine Roads of the Krasnodar Region” route passes through Moldavanskoye, among other places. At the regional level, it presents more than 2,500 years of winemaking and wine-production history—from antiquity to the present—also through interactive exhibitions and installations. In this way, the route as a regional theme sits alongside the local church and memorial history, without implying that every offering on the route is located in Moldavanskoye.

The route described also offers the opportunity to visit 20 wineries in the Krasnodar Region; this number may change. If you are planning such a visit, check the current route and visiting options. The route offers a wine-focused element for regional trip planning, while the church, memorial stone and Mărțișor presentation are specific cultural themes in Moldavanskoye.

The Krasnodar Region offers a range of landscapes to compare. In Azovskie Kosy Nature Park, sea waves and currents shape spits and islands of sand and shells with varied outlines. Colonies of different gull, tern and cormorant species are present year-round, including on shallow coastal waters, at the ends of the spits and on sand islands. The birds’ presence varies by season.

Another highlight is Anapskaya Peresyp Nature Park, where visitors can walk along wide, golden beaches; farther from the sea, the sand forms high dunes. Mount Karabetova, the largest active mud volcano on the Taman Peninsula, is in Vulkany Tamani Nature Park. These examples appeal to different interests—coastal formations and birdwatching, walks along beaches and dunes, or geology. They describe the broader destination of the Krasnodar Region, not Moldavanskoye itself.
