Your journey begins at the iconic Khor Virap Monastery, set against the breathtaking backdrop of biblical Mount Ararat. This sacred site holds deep historical and spiritual significance — it is where Saint Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned, marking the beginning of Christianity in Armenia, the first nation to adopt it as a state religion.
Continue to the heart of Armenia’s wine region with a visit to the legendary Areni-1 (Birds’) Cave. This archaeological treasure revealed the world’s oldest known winery (over 6,100 years old) and a remarkably preserved 5,500-year-old leather shoe. Walk through the cave where ancient civilisations practised early winemaking and burial rituals.
Next, explore the stunning Noravank Monastery, a masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture. Surrounded by dramatic red and orange cliffs carved by nature over millions of years, this two-storied church complex offers some of the most spectacular landscapes in the country.
End your day in Areni village, the birthplace of Armenian winemaking. Enjoy a delightful wine tasting experience and sample locally produced wines in the very region where wine history began.
Join us for a day filled with history, culture, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable flavours.
