  • Wine tourism - In September 2010, archaeologists discovered a 6,100-year-old 5 winery and wine cellar in Areni (Vayots Dzor province) in Armenia. Within the underground wine cellar, a wine press for stomping grapes, fermentation and storage containers, drinking cups, grape vines, skins, and seeds were found. This is the earliest winery and wine cellar found to date. The findings indicated large scale wine production, quite possibly the earliest retail winery. Archaeologists suggest that our early ancestors used wine in ceremonies to honour the dead. It is also thought as a gift, placed and consumed inside the tombs. Wine-pressing tools have been found installed into burials and tombs, and drinking cups around the graves. Illustrations from that time reflect this evidence. According to Armenian and US scientists these findings are the oldest and the most reliable evidence of wine production on the Planet dating back 6100 years. It is the first time that a complete archaeological site of wine production is discovered.

  • Culinary tours – Armenia is a destination for gourmands. - famous Caucasus cuisine will satisfy even most demanding food lovers. The cuisine in Armenia is quite varied and is a interesting mix of cultures.

We offer these typically Armenian dishes in a local village environment, homemade and rich with local flavour, which makes it an authentic experience. With that, it is interesting to see the variety of other cuisines present in local food culture. For centuries Armenia has been under the rule of Turkish Ottoman Empire, so traces of Mediterranean cuisine, close to the Greek and Turkish one, can be found in local cuisine. Many Armenians who escaped Turkey during the Ottoman rule, settled in Eastern countries at the time, nowadays Syria and Lebanon. Most of those families later returned to Armenia. They brought with themselves the food culture of the Arab world. Now, some similarities with Arabian cuisine can be found at local restaurants as well. And of course, the USSR period has not gone unnoticed and left its trace in the cuisine. Russian food, such as borsh, pelmeni and others are also popular dishes in everyday life and can be found to be served in restaurants. If you are searching for something other than local cuisine, there are many restaurants that are specialized in other national cuisines – Italian, French, Spanish, Greek, Lebanese, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and others.

  • Bird watching tours – Armenia is home to 360 species, some of which area rare, with 245 proven to breed here and about 170 found in winter. Geographical location of Armenia on the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Middle East lies on the natural migration routes of birds: more than 180 species migrating through Armenia on the way to and from their wintering grounds in the Middle East and Africa. The best time to visit Armenia is mid-May – mid-June. Visiting in May could produce a number of late migrants and increase chances with Caucasian Grouse and Semi-colla red Flycatcher (which become very hard to find from mid-June). But those who have Pale Rockfinch on their primary ‘target list’ should plan their trip closer to mid-June, as the species arrives normally in 1st-2nd third of June and in some years in the last third of the month!
