History of the settlement Sovet-Kvadzhe

The rich Russian gold producer Konstantin Mikhailovich Sibiryakov wrote the first pages in the history of the resort place. In the 1870s he bought the coastal lands and built on them the estate “Elizavetinskoye”. Sibiryakov built roads and a rich lord’s house. Thanks to his efforts, a beautiful park was laid out in a deserted place, fountains were built and rare species of trees and shrubs were planted.

Sibiryakov was passionate about viticulture and winemaking. He dreamed of planting the surrounding slopes with vineyards and getting good wine. The entrepreneur’s wish was fulfilled. In a few years, elite vineyards appeared around the estate, and Sibiryakov managed to create a deliciously tasty wine “Clos-Dashe”. Moreover, he even managed to build in the village the first Varvarinsky school of horticulture, viticulture and winemaking in the region. Later this educational institution was transferred to Tuapse.

At the turn of the XIX and XX centuries, Sibiryakov sold the coastal lands to brothers Lev Viktorovich and Viktor Viktorovich Golubev, who continued the traditions of local winemaking and built a dacha for their family near the sea. In the “Guide to the Caucasus”, published in 1909, the Golubev estate was called the dacha “Klo-Dashe.”

A special fame of the Black Sea wine was brought by the exhibition “Russian Riviera”, held in St. Petersburg in 1913. The winemaking of the Golubev brothers was a great success with visitors and interested many Russians. Nowadays the place where the estate was located is called “Blue Dacha”. It is located to the south of the modern Sovet-Kvadzhe and is separated from it by the Neozhidannaya River.

Until 1958 there were two settlements on the seashore: Sibirsky and Sovet-Kvadzhe, but then they were combined into one settlement – Sibirsky. Nevertheless, the old name “Sovet-Kvadzhe” remained on the maps, and the locals continue to call their settlement that way. And Sibirsky has turned into one of the settlement’s microdistricts.

Today, the old Sibiryakov estate belongs to the sanatorium “South”, which began receiving vacationers in 1924. In the former lord’s house are a movie-concert hall and a spacious sanatorium dining room. And in the place where the dacha of L. Golubev used to stand, you can see the buildings of the reservation.
