Wine trails
8 stops · 1 week Vayots Dzor Wine Route In 2011, archaeologists discovered the world's oldest known winery at Areni-1 cave - a 6,100-year-old facility complete with fermentation vats, grape seeds, and a wine press. Today, Vayots Dzor is Armenia's premier wine region, home to the indigenous Areni grape and stunning monastery landscapes. 6 stops · 1 week Aragatsotn Wine Route Aragatsotn means 'foot of Aragats' - Armenia's highest peak. This high-altitude region (1,400-1,800m) produces crisp, mineral whites from Voskehat and structured reds from Areni. Ancient fortresses and alphabet monuments dot the landscape. 6 stops · 1 week Ararat Valley Wine Route Legend says Noah planted the first vineyard here after the Ark landed on Mount Ararat.
