Description

Discover Armenia’s soul on a private day trip from Yerevan. Taste Areni wine, explore Noravank Monastery, fly over the gorge on the “Wings of Tatev” cable car, and visit the mysterious Karahunj.
Embark on an unforgettable private journey through the heart of Southern Armenia — a region where ancient monasteries, dramatic gorges, and world-class wines come together.

Your adventure begins in Areni, the cradle of Armenian winemaking. Visit a local family-run winery, learn about centuries-old wine traditions, and enjoy a tasting of fine Armenian reds.

Continue to Noravank Monastery, a 13th-century architectural gem surrounded by stunning red cliffs. This masterpiece by architect Momik is one of the most picturesque landmarks in the country.

Then, reach the iconic Tatev Monastery, perched dramatically above the Vorotan Gorge. To get there, experience the Guinness World Record–holding “Wings of Tatev” cable car — a breathtaking 12-minute flight across Armenia’s most scenic canyon.

End the journey with a visit to Karahunj, also known as the “Armenian Stonehenge” — a prehistoric observatory made of dozens of standing stones aligned with celestial patterns.

Enjoy the entire trip in a comfortable private car with flexible stops for photography, coffee, or scenic viewpoints. This tour is designed for travelers who prefer authentic experiences, comfort, and personal pace.
