Armenia is a land where winemaking is not just a tradition, but a part of its very identity, with a history that spans over 6,000 years. Archaeological discoveries, including the world’s oldest known winery at the Areni-1 cave, confirm its status as one of the cradles of viticulture. The country’s unique high-altitude vineyards and volcanic soils are home to hundreds of indigenous grape varieties. Today, the focus is on native grapes like the red Areni and the white Voskehat, which produce elegant and expressive wines that are rapidly capturing the attention of the global wine community.
