Summary
Since ancient times the grape has symbolized abundance and fertility, hospitality and holidays, youth and fun. According to biblical legend, Noy, after the flood, planted vines in the lands of Mount Ararat – thus began the tradition of winemaking in the territory of modern Armenia.
What is the secret of Armenian wine? Hardly anyone would argue with the fact that the taste of the drink depends on the climatic conditions in which the grapes were grown. The unique composition of soils allows to receive berry with amazing taste and unique aroma.
Here is a wine tour to Armenia – a unique journey for true wine connoisseurs. Our aim is to introduce you to the culture and history of our country, to show you the process of production of famous Armenian cognac and wines, as well as given the opportunity to taste them.
