Yerevan: Ashtarak Old Town Tour & Wine Tasting

Category:
Country: Armenia
Duration:
06:00 hours
Description
Escape Yerevan for a day in Ashtarak with old churches, gorge views, and a boutique wine tasting. Enjoy 3 classic wines served with a cheese platter in one of Armenia’s winemaking areas.
Leave Yerevan behind for a slower day shaped by heritage, landscape, and wine. Begin in Ashtarak, a town known for its old churches, layered streets, and scenic views over the Kasagh Gorge.
Rather than rushing through a standard checklist, focus on the atmosphere of the town itself: historic stone architecture, old urban texture, and the quieter rhythm that makes Ashtarak feel very different from central Yerevan.
After the heritage walk, continue into the countryside for a boutique wine stop in the Ashtarak area. Instead of a heavy winery program, enjoy a guided tasting of 3 classic wines served with a cheese platter in a relaxed vineyard setting.
The idea is not to compete with large tasting menus or full dining experiences, but to offer a cleaner, more balanced day where history, scenery, and wine all have space.
