What to expect
120 km from Yerevan, on the left bank of the r. Arpa Vayots-Dzorsky marz of Armenia, stretched tiny village Areni - the object of pilgrimage for connoisseurs of vintage wines and unique monuments of architecture. Beginning in 2009, the village hosts an annual international wine festival - a large-scale cultural event devoted to tasting young and aged wines of local bottling, in particular the products of the Areni Winery winery, founded in 1994 on the basis of a small family business.
