Beschrijving
Discover Armenia's beauty, heritage, and winemaking traditions on a full-day trip from Yerevan. Visit Lake Sevan, explore medieval monasteries, and enjoy a wine and brandy tasting.
Begin your adventure with a scenic drive to Lake Sevan, often called the "Jewel of Armenia." Situated at an altitude of nearly 1,900 meters (6,200 ft), it is one of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in the world. Climb the peninsula to Sevanavank Monastery, founded in the 9th century, where you'll enjoy spectacular panoramic views over the sparkling blue waters and surrounding mountains.
Continue into the lush forests of Dilijan National Park, one of Armenia's most picturesque regions. Visit Haghartsin Monastery, a beautifully preserved 10th–13th century monastic complex hidden among dense woodlands, known for its peaceful atmosphere and remarkable medieval architecture.
Next, travel to the historic Goshavank Monastery, named after the medieval scholar Mkhitar Gosh. Admire its intricate stone carvings, elegant khachkars (cross-stones), and learn about its important role as a center of education and culture during the Middle Ages.
Enjoy free time to explore the charming Old Dilijan Complex, where traditional stone and wooden houses recreate the atmosphere of a 19th-century Armenian town. Browse local artisan workshops, souvenir shops, cafés, and experience the authentic character of this beloved mountain resort.
The final stop is the Ijevan Wine and Brandy Factory, one of Armenia's oldest and most respected producers. Learn about the country's centuries-old winemaking traditions during a guided visit through the production facilities, followed by a tasting of selected Armenian wines and brandies.
Throughout the day, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating stories about Armenia's history, culture, religion, and traditions, making this journey an ideal combination of nature, history, gastronomy, and local experiences.
