Our Armenian wines

In the eighth century, Armenia was called the “Land of Vineyards.” Grapes grew wild in these regions for over a million years before being domesticated. More than a decade ago, a series of archaeological “firsts” were discovered in a cliffside cave near the mountain town of Areni . These include the oldest known shoe, the oldest known brain tissue from the Old World, and a 6,100-year-old wine cellar, the oldest ever discovered on earth. In what is now known as Areni Cave , the public can see cylindrical clay vessels (each over a meter in diameter) where wine was produced for burial ceremonies.
