High in the embrace of Armenia's mountains lies Lake Sevan – the blue heart of the land, beating in harmony with the winds and the sun. Legend tells that once a green valley stretched here, until the heavens shed their tears, filling it with shimmering water as a priceless gift to humankind.

Dilijan is a corner of Armenia where nature and silence weave a harmony that captivates every traveler. Nestled among emerald forests and gentle hills, the town stretches along the scenic valley of the Aghstev River, where the air carries the scent of pine and the freshness of mountain streams. The national park's unique pearls are two beautiful sights hidden in the forests: Lakes Parz and Gosh, the shrubs and trees around which have witnessed numerous folk tales in the form of wild animals.

Hidden deep within the leafy forests of Tavush, Haghartsin Monastery seems as though it has stepped straight out of an ancient manuscript, where stone walls and nature blend into a single, harmonious whole. Founded between the 10th and 13th centuries, it stood for centuries as both a spiritual refuge and a cultural beacon, drawing monks, pilgrims and master craftsmen. The complex includes the churches of St. Gregory, St. Mary and St. Stephen, along with monastic cells and service buildings carefully woven into the mountainous landscape.

Tolma is not just a dish of Armenian cuisine but a true culinary symbol, without which no celebration would feel complete. The classic Tolma is prepared with minced beef or lamb seasoned with fragrant spices, carefully wrapped in grape or cabbage leaves and sometimes in vegetables. Traditionally it is served with matsun, Armenian yogurt blended with garlic, which adds a distinctive tangy note. There is also a fasting version known as pasuts Tolma, made with red beans, lentils, grains, tomato paste, onions and a rich bouquet of spices.

The Ijevan Wine and Brandy Factory, founded in 1951, has become a true guardian of Armenia's winemaking and brandy traditions. In this green and fertile land of Tavush, nature itself seems to have infused power and fragrance into every grape cluster, every berry, every fruit. Here are born drinks that carry you into a world of legend: noble brandies with a deep, warm flavor, refined wines filled with the energy of the sun and fruit-and-berry elixirs woven from the very soul of orchards and forests.
