Imagine offering your travelers a journey to one of the most ancient winemaking regions in the world, where each vineyard and every glass of wine tells a story over 6,000 years old. Armenia, often considered the birthplace of wine, offers travellers an unparalleled experience of history, culture, and flavours. This journey will allow your travelers to connect with the essence of Armenia through its renowned vineyards and winemaking traditions.
Our adventure begins in the Areni region, nestled in the shadow of the Caucasus Mountains. Known as the heart of Armenian wine production, this area is home to the Areni Noir grape, Armenia’s iconic varietal. As travelers pass through lush valleys and rocky cliffs, they’ll visit family-owned vineyards where passionate vintners share stories of resilience and history. Here, they’ll taste the deeply ruby-red Areni Noir, with its aromas of red berries and spices, and flavors of blackberries, pomegranate, and a subtle smokiness that reflects the rugged terrain.

After experiencing the bold Areni Noir, travelers will be introduced to the Voskehat grape, affectionately called the “Queen of Armenian Grapes.” This indigenous white varietal offers a crisp, refreshing taste with floral notes and a delicate sweetness,
perfectly paired with traditional Armenian dishes. With its golden hues, Voskehat embodies the harmony and balance of Armenia’s winemaking heritage.
What makes Armenian wine unique is its ancient craftsmanship. Families harvest grapes by hand, crush them by foot, and ferment the juice in traditional clay jars called “karas.” These methods connect winemakers to centuries of tradition, producing wine that carries the essence of Armenia’s land and culture. Each sip tells a story, reflecting generations of dedication and love.
Armenian vineyards are more than scenic landscapes; they’re historical sites. travelers can explore nearby landmarks such as the Areni-1 Cave, home to one of the world’s oldest wineries, dating back over 6,000 years. This archaeological treasure highlights Armenia’s profound connection to winemaking and its cultural heritage.
