Это был один из самых вкусных и душевных туров в нашей жизни. Армения открылась для нас через вино, кухню, гостеприимство и красивые пейзажи. Отдельная благодарность Рузанне за личное внимание, заботу и помощь на всех этапах поездки. Благодаря ей мы чувствовали себя желанными гостями, а не просто туристами.

The itinerary was very well balanced: sightseeing, wine tastings, local food, masterclasses and beautiful landscapes. We especially enjoyed Van Ardi Winery, Old Bridge Winery, the cheese farm and Lake Sevan. The guide was professional, the transportation was comfortable and the whole trip felt very smooth.

Прекрасный гастрономический тур по Армении! За 6 дней мы увидели Ереван, древние монастыри, Гарни, Гегард, озеро Севан и винодельни, о которых раньше даже не слышали. Особенно понравились дегустации армянских вин и мастер-класс по приготовлению долмы. Всё было организовано спокойно, комфортно и с большим вниманием к деталям.

This wine and gastro tour was a beautiful way to experience Armenia through its flavors, traditions and landscapes. We enjoyed every part of the program, from the wine tastings at Van Ardi and Old Bridge Winery to the lavash baking and tolma masterclasses. Lake Sevan, Garni, Geghard and Noravank made the journey even more memorable. A special thank you to Ruzanna for her personal care, kindness and excellent organization throughout the trip.

Этот винно-гастрономический тур стал для нас одним из самых ярких впечатлений от Армении. Нам очень понравились дегустации вин, посещение сыроварни, мастер-классы по приготовлению толмы и выпечке лаваша, а также поездки в Гарни, Гегард, Севан, Нораванк и на винодельни Van Ardi и Old Bridge. Отдельная благодарность Рузанне за её внимание, заботу и прекрасную организацию тура. Благодаря ей путешествие получилось очень комфортным, вкусным и душевным.
