Destination Information

According to the legend, humanity first tasted wine and felt its magic effect when Noah sipped it at the foot of Mount Ararat.

Archaeological excavations at the sites of the ancient settlements of Arin-Berd, Karmir-Blur, Teyshebani and Elar-Darani testify that the ancestors of modern Armenians possessed a highly-developed wine making culture. Greek historians of a later period, including Herodotus, Xenophon and Strabon, recorded that excellent wines were exported from Armenia to neighboring countries at least 2,500 years ago.
