Next we will head to the Voskevaz winery, which means “Golden Vine”, which is located in the small same name village, in the mountainous Aragatsotn region, on the landscape of the majestic Mount Aragats. The winery was founded in 1932 and has been keeping its quality standard in the Armenian market for almost a century. The fabulous building of the factory resembles a castle, which was restored in 2004 and now every year it is overhauled for visiting by tourists and wine lovers. The Voskevaz factory uses exclusively the Armenian grape varieties for its products and is a pioneer in the creation of Armenian dessert wines. In the excursion package you will not only have a walk around the old and beautiful castle, but also during the degustation of the national Armenian wine have an interesting history of the plant and winemaking process.
