Description

Five days is a perfect introduction to Armenia’s wine culture. Even on a relatively short journey, it is possible to explore several wine-producing areas, visit both modern wineries and small family producers, and taste wines made from indigenous Armenian grape varieties.

Our Wine Tour in Armenia brings together Aragatsotn and Vayots Dzor — two very different wine regions of the country. Along the way, we will meet winemakers, visit wineries, taste Armenian wines and pair them with local cuisine and regional products.

Depending on the selected rate, the tour includes visits to four or six wineries. The wine experience is complemented by artisan cheese, local lunches, Yerevan and several of Armenia’s most interesting historical and natural sites.

Wine Tour in Armenia – 5 Days is a compact journey for travelers who want to discover the country’s modern wine culture, its terroirs, indigenous grape varieties and the people behind Armenian wine.

For private and corporate groups, we can also create a tailor-made wine program, including selected wineries, private tastings, gastronomic dinners, meetings with winemakers and other special experiences.
