Armenia

Armenia's wine scene is growing fast. New wineries are utilising international grapes alongside local varieties such as Voskehat and Areni Noir.

Armenia

Armenian wine has a long and rich history, dating back thousands of years to the time of the ancient Kingdom of Armenia. Over the centuries, Armenian wine-making techniques have been passed down from generation to generation, resulting in a unique style of wine that is prized for its bold flavors and high quality. Today, Armenia is home to a thriving wine industry, producing a wide range of red, white, and rosé wines using both local and international grape varieties. From crisp, fruity whites to rich, full-bodied reds, Armenian wine offers something for every taste and occasion. Located near the capital city of Yerevan, the Ararat region is one of the most important wine-producing areas in Armenia. This region is known for its warm climate and fertile soil, which make it ideal for growing a variety of grape varieties, including the famous Armenian brandy grape, Sireni.
