Yerevan, the capital of Armenia and one of the oldest cities in the world, was founded in 782 BC, making it 29 years older than Rome. Its story begins with the fortress of Erebuni, built by King Argishti I and today the ancient ruins coexist in harmony with modern buildings and lively streets. The city is poetically called the "pink" capital, since most of its buildings are made of volcanic tuff in warm shades of pink that glow beautifully at sunset.

Yerevan enchants with its rhythm: by day it welcomes visitors with museums, parks and landmarks, while by night it transforms into a vibrant hub of cafés, restaurants and clubs. A walk through its streets reveals the city's unique spirit, where antiquity and modernity intertwine at every turn.

At its heart lies Republic Square, where from May until mid-autumn the spectacular dancing fountains perform a symphony of water and light to classical and contemporary music. Another emblematic spot is the Cascade complex, from which sweeping views of the city and the majestic Mount Ararat unfold. The panorama is especially breathtaking in the evening, when city lights create a magical atmosphere.

Yerevan is not only a historic capital but a living organism, filled with energy, warmth and hospitality. A visit to Armenia's capital always leaves vivid memories and a longing to return.

ARARAT brandy is not just a drink – it is Armenia captured in flavor: its sun, mountains and centuries-old traditions. Each glass feels like a journey into old Yerevan, where oak barrels guard the secrets of master distillers and amber liquid matures slowly in the soft shadows of the cellars.

The ARARAT Brandy Factory is a true temple of Armenian brandy, where every step feels like a journey through time, from the grapevine and its fruit to the ancient barrels infused with the noble aroma of aging spirits. The factory museum preserves over 120 years of history, a story of passion and skill passed down through generations of Armenian craftsmen.

The moment of revelation comes with the tasting, when amber drops slide along the glass, unfolding rich notes of nuts, dried fruit, caramel and subtle spices.

Guests can choose from three journeys:

  • Standard package – Tour and tasting of "Three Stars" and "Ani" (7-year-old) brandies at 12.14 USD p/p;
  • "ARARAT Flavors" package – Tour and tasting of "Ani" (7-year-old), "ARARAT Apricot" and "ARARAT Coffee" at 20.23 USD p/p;
  • Advanced package – Tour and tasting of "Akhtamar" (10-year-old), "Vaspurakan" (15-year-old) and "Nairi" (20-year-old) at 26.97 USD p/p.

Every visit to ARARAT is a meeting with a legend, where taste and aroma turn into history and Armenia itself shines in the golden reflections of its brandy.
