Highlights
  • Admire the views of the magnificent Ararat from Khor Virap monastery
  • Visit a winery that makes wine from the world's oldest grape variety
  • Explore the Noravank Monastery and admire its medieval architecture
Full description
Khor Virap Monastery is located about an hour’s drive away from the capital Yerevan, and offers an amazing view of Armenia’s defining symbol – the majestic Ararat. Khor Virap translates as deep dungeon, and it was built on the place of the former royal prison, located on the historical site of Artashat. The Monastery is also one of the most sacred spots for Armenians around the world. This tour will also take you to the Areni Cave (Bird’s Cave). In 2008, archeologists discovered several of the world’s oldest artifacts, including a leather shoe and a winery here. The site, overlooking Arpa River near the town of Areni, is claimed to date back to the Early Bronze Age. It contains evidence of elaborate burial rituals and agricultural practices. Another place that can’t be missed is Noravank. It is one of the gems of medieval Armenian architecture, nestled high among the stunning brick-red cliffs at the end of the Gnishik Canyon. Afterwards, you will be given the chance to taste and even purchase Armenia’s renowned Areni wine, made from the oldest grape variety in the whole world. The wine is available in several wineries in the town of Areni itself.

I cant even express in words how amazing this trip was. Khor Virap was so-so, but Noravank is a magical place. I also liked the Areni cave andwhoever chose the plqce for lunch wqs genious. wine tasting is good. I am not into Armenian wines, but I enjoyed talking about wine with other travellers. But the highlight of the trip was our superb tour guide. She gave us soooo many useful and interesting information during the trip that we all just listened and asked for more :). She talked a lot about the country history, genocide and relationships with neighboring countries. I think I never met a guide with such a deep knowledge and a natural ability to get attention of people. Simply wow.

The guide was very professional and knowledgeable. The sites were also interesting - I was quite disappointed with Khor Virap but the historical context makes up for it. Areni Cave and Noravank Monastery however were jaw-dropping, marvellous views everywhere. The wine tasting was good, not too long, quite compact. The lunch could have been better but it was also very cheap. The guide was by far the most professional of the many tours I did in Georgia and Armenia.
