Experience the best of Armenia: savor the wine, marvel at the nature and culture, and engage with the locals, making a positive impact on the community.
- Vayots Dzor Province - After our representative meets you at your hotel, you’ll depart for Vayots Dzor. We’ll pause at the mountain pass in Chiva for a breathtaking bird’s eye view and photo opportunity of the Vayots Dzor wine region. Enjoy a light lunch at a winery near the village of Areni, named after Armenia’s most popular grape variety.
Later, stretch your legs with a guided hike through the Gnishik Protected Area in the highlands around Noravank Canyon, concluding at the iconic 13th-century Noravank monastery. Not much of a hiker? Hop into a Soviet-era Jeep for an off-road safari through the protected area with a local ranger and guide.
Continue to a winery along the road from Areni to Yeghegnadzor for wine tasting and small plates. Then, take a private tour of their cellars and get a chance to compare older vintages. If the weather is nice, enjoy a stroll through the manicured vineyards outside some of the wineries.
End your day with a nightcap and take in the sunset at the Satin Bezoar Goat Observation Point. Every evening, rare bezoar goats come bounding by, making this one of the best places in Armenia to spot these endangered animals.
