Description
Seven days offer the opportunity to explore Armenia’s wine culture in much greater depth — from modern wineries to small family producers, from indigenous grape varieties to the people and regions behind Armenian wine.
Our Wine Tour in Armenia takes us through several of the country’s wine-producing areas, including Aragatsotn and Vayots Dzor. Along the way, we will meet winemakers, visit wineries of very different styles, taste Armenian wines and combine them with local cuisine and regional products.
Depending on the selected rate, the journey includes visits to four or eight wineries, ranging from large modern producers to boutique and family-run estates. The wine program is complemented by artisan cheese, Armenian brandy, local lunches, Yerevan and some of Armenia’s most interesting historical and natural sites.
Wine Tour in Armenia – 7 Days is designed for travelers who want to go beyond a simple wine tasting and discover Armenia’s modern wine culture, its terroirs, indigenous grape varieties and the people creating its wines.
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.
