Description
Discover MOONQ Winery, where rare Armenian grapes meet family tradition. Taste five andcrafted wines, explore the boutique winery, and enjoy stunning Mount Ararat views in a serene setting.
Experience the essence of Armenian winemaking at MOONQ Winery, where tradition, rare indigenous grapes, and award-winning wines come together in an intimate setting. Your experience at MOONQ Winery will begin with an introduction to our family’s winemaking journey and the rare grapes we use, including Nrneni, grown on less than half a hectare in Armenia. As you explore our boutique winery, you’ll see firsthand how we select, ferment, and bottle our wines—and even have the chance to label a bottle yourself.
Your guided tasting will feature five wines, including the IWSC 2024 Bronze Medal-winning MOONQ Nrneni 2023 and the MUNDUS 2024 Silver Medal-winning MOONQ Coupage 2022 (Areni, Khndoghni, Nrneni). You’ll also taste MOONQ Coupage 2023, MOONQ Voskehat 2023 (white), and MOONQ Areni Rosé 2022.
To complement the wines, you’ll enjoy a meat and cheese platter, crackers, and Armenian pakhlava, similar to Middle Eastern baklava, followed by a cup of Armenian herbal tea, brewed in a 19th-century Tula samovar from Artsakh. Set in the tranquil Ararat Valley, with stunning views of Mount Ararat, this experience offers the perfect balance of discovery, relaxation, and exceptional Armenian wines.
