According to biblical legend, Noah’s ark, which survived the flood, stopped at the foot of Mount Ararat, and it was here, in the Ararat valley, that Noah began growing grapes.
Co-founder ofVoskeni WinesAlina Mkrtchyan said: “We produce wine with the image of my forefather Smbat Mateosyan on the bottle, who, having lived in Boston for about 20 years, dreamed of returning to his homeland, establishing his own vineyard and making wine. In 1925, his long-time dream came true: he returned to Armenia, founded a vineyard, but did not have time to make wine and was exiled to Siberia. We decided to make his dream come true. We restored the same garden and made the first wine in 2014. We built a factory in close proximity to the vineyard, and the whole family is engaged in winemaking, selling products in Armenia, Russia, the USA and Europe.”
Here the wine is made from Areni and Voskehat grape varieties. Exceptional wines, a picturesque vineyard, a cozy home restaurant, a terrace with stunning views of Mount Ararat and family heritage. Today Smbat Mateosyan’s dream is a reality and you can try it.
The Sardarapat Memorial Complex is also located in the Araks village, where the Voskeni Wines winery is located.
