Astonished with Vanardi’s Rose we decided to visit the winery and get acquainted with the vineyards and other products that Vanardi is making. A nice experience with white, rose and red wine in a family owned winery having the opportunity to talk to the winemaker. We also enjoyed the view opening up towards the vineyards during the wine tasting. Great job. Thanks.

Highly recommend to visit, you'll definitely be amazed with the views, the taste of wine, history of the place and friendly staff - as usual in Armenia! Our guide Polina led us around the factory, everything was allowed to see, be answered about and even touch. Polina is a nice and friendly person and the tour with her is just like walking with a friend.I am not very interested in wine industry, but was engaged in the story and learnt a lot! Paying afterwards makes the visit more personal and warm. Can't say that it is the best place in Armenia, as all the places there are best, but it's undoubtedly worth visiting.

Tushpa Wine Cellar is a traditional Armenian winery, both family-owned and managed. The winery is named for the historic area of Tushpa, now known as Van, from where our ancestors originated. We are located in the heart of the Ararat Valley, 35 km west of downtown Yerevan. Settled beneath the Biblical Mount Ararat. TUSHPA was founded in 1992 by the winemaker Mihran Manasserian. Mihran Manasserian creates remarkable wines through winemaking traditions that his ancestors, passed down to him. He and his son Abraham combine these traditions with modern technologies to create the unforgettable essence of our wines.

The history of viticulture in Haroutyun’s family and Armenia in general is best described as follows: viticulture is love, parental gentleness that is passed on to generations. This is a love story. You can use plants to transfer parental warmth, sweetness, love and history only if the community perceives grapes and wine as culture and part of identity. When in 1964 Haroutyun’s grandfather Jivan moved Pokr Vedi in Ararat Valley from Vayots Dzor, he brought with him a vine planted by his father and built a pergola in front of his new house, ensuring the continuity of their grapes and his own story. The village is located in Ararat Valley in front of the biblical Mount Ararat, which is an important center of viticulture and winemaking. Visit the garden and vineyards and continue the tour to the cellar, where Harutyun will introduce his wines and vodkas. Enjoy the tasting and buy some of your favourits.

I called in the morning to schedule a solo tour during the same day, and was granted unexpectedly a slot during the afternoon. This was possible due to the generosity of our amazing host and tour guide, Astghik. Not only is she fluent in English, but is also extremely knowledgeable, explaining everything from the history of the geographical location of the vineyard to the tiniest details regarding wine production. The tour is divided in three sections: 1) A drive tour throughout the vineyard where you will learn about the history as well as the goals of the company, specifics on the people who work in the company, how the grapevines are irrigated and how the vineyard is maintained. 2) A tour in the wine factory where you will learn a lot about wine production. 3) A wine tasting session. Anyone looking forward for an authentic winery tour and wine tasting should go to Karas Wines. Also, make sure to ask for Astghik for an unforgettable experience.

We took a taxi from our hotel in Yerevan and two hours later found ourselves on a twisting dirt road, surrounded by fields and mountains, on the outskirts of Areni. Google Maps told us to keep going but we had our doubts, until suddenly up on a hill we finally caught sight of a small "cube". Nver and Narine, and their son Haig, greeted us with broad smiles and invited us to sit at a table that was laid with delicious looking food: cold cuts, cheeses, breads, salad, olives, bread and tomato, and lots of fabulous fruit. We were soon joined by a lovely couple from Barcelona and then the feast began. Four hours of fabulous wine tasting, fun conversation and great local food. The family wines are superb! And Nver and Narine are extremely generous and make sure your glass is never empty. The white wine was exquisite, light and subtle, as was the rose, and the red was velvety and full bodied. After three hours of nonstop wine-tasting they brought out a sweet red that their 14 year old son Haig had made --it was the sixth of only 8 bottles that he made, so we felt very honoured. It was a real treat. The toilet was very clean and very necessary considering the quantities of wine we consumed. All in all, it was a wonderful wine and personal experience. We wish Nver and Narine and their children continued success. Thank you so much for this unforgettable day!
