On the edge of the scenic Kasakh Gorge, just north of Mugni, rises Saghmosavank the Monastery of Psalms, a name that itself sounds like a prayer. Founded in the 12th-13th centuries by the noble Vachutyan family, it became not only a spiritual haven but also a sanctuary where priceless manuscripts were copied and preserved. The complex is composed of four structures: the grand main Church of Saint Zion, a narthex, a spacious library and the modest Chapel of the Holy Mother of God. Perched above the abyss of the gorge, Saghmosavank's stone walls have witnessed the passage of centuries, holding within them the strength of countless prayers and the quiet rhythm of nature's voice.

At the foot of the majestic Mount Aragats, in the quiet village of Artashavan, the Armenian Alphabet Monument rises where the mountain winds seem to whisper ancient tales. Created in 2005 to honor the 1600th anniversary of the Armenian script, the site has since become a magnet for those seeking to immerse themselves in the nation's cultural spirit. On that occasion, on the Independence Day of the Republic of Armenia, May 28, Armenians formed an unprecedented circle dance around Mount Aragats, and the kochari became an intangible cultural heritage.

In 2007, Armenak Aslanyan returned to his homeland to give new life to the ancient winemaking traditions established by his ancestors more than eighty years ago. This is how "Golden Grape ArmAs" was born – an estate where earth, sun and people come together to create a living legend. Amid the serene hills stretch vineyards and orchards whose aromas fill the air, telling the story of this land. Every step of the tour feels like a journey through past and future: from the vines and production halls to the cellars with oak barrels where the soul of the wine is born.
