Wines and spirits Armenia

Foods that are more spiritual than spiritual in this shop, which offers the whole range of brandies, also called here Armenian "gognak", more or less starred, but whose authenticity is guaranteed by the fact that they come directly from the distillery, which is more than a hundred years old. The bottle of this Armenian brandy, all the more precious and expensive as it displays stars and years, is one of the unavoidable "souvenirs" of Armenia, which prides itself in particular on having been able to seduce the palate of Winston Churchill.

Behind the large tufa facade, neo-Armenian style that would not be out of place in Yerevan, this local wine merchant takes visitors on a tour of his cooperative and tastes the local vintages, dry wines, such as the red Hin Areni, and the Aréni Noir, a red that was launched internationally in 2012. The visit will allow you to familiarize yourself with the ancestral know-how in this region where people pride themselves on the fact that sometimes wine is still kept in these Armenian terracotta jars, the "karas". A wine bar lost in the mountains, unexpected...
