What You’ll Experience

Khor Virap

Visit Khor Virap, one of Armenia’s most cherished spiritual landmarks, set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Ararat. This historic monastery is where Saint Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned for 13 years before converting the Armenian king to Christianity—paving the way for Armenia to become the first Christian nation in the world. You'll descend into the very pit where he was held and hear the powerful story behind it. With panoramic views, deep history, and rich cultural significance, Khor Virap is a place that touches both heart and soul. Let me guide you through its legends, architecture, and unforgettable views.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Areni

Step back in time at Areni-1 Cave, one of Armenia's most fascinating archaeological sites. Nestled in the heart of the Vayots Dzor region, this ancient cave complex is home to some of the world’s oldest discoveries, including the oldest known leather shoe and earliest known winery, dating back over 6,000 years. Walk through the same chambers once used for ritual ceremonies, winemaking, and daily life in the Copper Age. As your guide, I’ll share the cave’s incredible history and the stories unearthed by archaeologists that bring this prehistoric site to life. A must-see for history lovers and curious minds alike!

Noravank Monastery

Tucked between dramatic red cliffs in a narrow gorge, Noravank Monastery is a true hidden gem of Armenia. This 13th-century architectural masterpiece is known for its stunning Surb Astvatsatsin Church, with its unique two-story design and intricate stone carvings. The monastery isn’t just a feast for the eyes—it’s a place rich with history, legends, and spiritual depth. As your guide, I’ll walk you through its stories, symbolism, and the genius of medieval Armenian architecture, all while you soak in the breathtaking canyon views that surround this peaceful site.

40 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

St. Astvatsatsin Church

Discover the timeless elegance of Surb Astvatsatsin Church in the village of Areni. Built in the 14th century by the renowned architect Momik, this beautiful church is a masterpiece of Armenian medieval architecture. Its delicate carvings, graceful dome, and peaceful setting among the mountains make it a must-see for anyone exploring the region. I’ll guide you through the history behind its creation, the symbolism in its design, and the legacy of Momik himself—who is said to be buried right beside his work of art. A perfect stop for history, culture, and a quiet moment of reflection.

20 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Arpi

After exploring Armenia’s ancient wonders, unwind at the charming Arpi Wine Winery—a family-run gem nestled in the Areni region. Enjoy a delicious traditional Armenian lunch paired with locally crafted wines, made from the same grapes that have grown in this valley for thousands of years. You’ll taste a variety of wines, learn about the local winemaking traditions, and experience genuine Armenian hospitality. It’s the perfect way to savor the flavors of the region and recharge before the next adventure.
