About this tour

Explore the rich history and breathtaking landscapes of Armenia with a tour that takes you to some of the country’s most iconic and ancient landmarks, culminating in a delightful wine-tasting experience.

Tour Highlights:

  • Khor Virap Monastery: Begin your journey with a visit to Khor Virap, one of Armenia’s most sacred sites, offering the closest and most stunning view of the legendary Mount Ararat. Located just an hour’s drive from Yerevan, Khor Virap, meaning “deep dungeon,” was built on the site of an ancient royal prison. Here, Gregory the Illuminator, the first Armenian Catholicos, was imprisoned for 13 years. This monastery is not only a spiritual hub for Armenians worldwide but also a top destination for those eager to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of Ararat up close.
  • Areni-1 “Birds” Cave: Next, the tour takes you to the Areni-1 “Birds” Cave, an archaeological treasure trove where some of the world’s oldest artifacts were uncovered in 2008. This site, overlooking the Arpa River, dates back to the Early Bronze Age, around 5,000-6,000 years ago. Here, you’ll discover remnants of ancient burial rituals, agricultural practices, and even the world’s oldest leather shoe and winery, offering a fascinating glimpse into Armenia’s distant past.
  • Noravank Monastery: Continue your journey to Noravank, a masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture nestled among the dramatic red cliffs at the end of Gnishik Canyon. This monastery is renowned for its unique depiction of God the Father, the only one in Armenia, and the mysterious face of Jesus Christ that appears on the dome of the Church’s narthex. Built by the Orbelian noble family, Noravank serves as their sepulcher, a rare exception to the 5th-century prohibition against burying individuals inside churches.
  • Old Areni Winery: As a fitting end to your tour, indulge in a wine-tasting session at the “Old Areni” winery, located in the town of Areni. Here, you’ll have the chance to taste and even purchase wine made from the world’s oldest grape variety, renowned for its rich flavor and history. This stop offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and the vibrant tradition of Armenian winemaking.

This tour is a perfect blend of Armenia’s spiritual, historical, and cultural treasures, providing an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of this ancient land.
