1-Day Armenian Wine Country Experience

This 1-day tour takes you from Yerevan to Armenian wine region, where you'll visit 2 top wineries, the historic Khor Virap & Noravank Monasteries, cave & finally a 3 course dinner in a local vineyard.
Whether you’re new to the fascinating world of wine or are a bonafide oenophile, this 1-day experience will take you from Yerevan to the heart of Armenian wine country, where you’ll taste some of Armenia’s top local wines and learn about the country’s rich 6,000-year-old winemaking heritage. You’ll visit two local wineries during your day-long tour, one medium-sized and the other a small family production, as well as two of Armenia’s most iconic historical sites: the monastery of Khor Virap, where the story of Armenia’s conversion to Christianity began, and Noravank Monastery, a medieval Armenian architectural wonder. You’ll also visit the world’s oldest known winery, discovered in a mysterious cave in 2011 near the village of Areni. Finally, your day will end with a 5/5 star-rated outdoor dining experience in a local family vineyard. You’ll experience an authentic 3-course menu created by your hosts and a local food historian among the vines of your host’s family vineyard while sipping on local wines as the vineyards glow golden with the setting sun. You won't just learn about Armenia's rich culinary and winemaking traditions; you'll be a part of them.
