Our history
An Eden vineyard of “Areni” and “Voskehat” high-quality grapes has been established since 2005 on a waterless, uncultivated plot of land of the world’s first winepress in front of the Areni-1 bird cave. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 1233 m above sea level, and as a result the grapes have high quality indicators. The way from viticulture to winemaking was long and full of obstacles. It became possible to realize the winemaker’s long-standing dream, right in the area of the vineyard.

The wines are bottled on 07.09.2020.
VAYOTS DZOR
The most famous is the Noravank monastery complex. The monastery complex was founded in the XII century was built mainly in the XIII-XIV centuries. The desert was renamed Noravank in 1221. The iconography of God the Father and the Holy Spirit, made in the frescoes of Noravank, is unprecedented for the medieval Christian art.
These sculptures of Noravank go beyond the scope of national art.



Areni-1 cave
In the heart of Vayots Dzor is situated Areni-1 cave, also known as “Bird Cave”. During the excavations in 2007, findings related to winemaking were found in the cave. The structural features of the cave made it possible to use it as a winepress, the compressed grapes flowed in a special sloping place, where it matured to the appropriate degree.
Huge vases were buried in the ground near the vineyard, in which the ramins of grapes and hollow reed stems were found. At present, this wine complex is considered to be the oldest in the world and attributes to the 4th millennium BC.
No one lived inside the cave, and the consumption of wine was a ritual for them.
