Description

Good to Know

Journey to one of Armenia’s most breathtaking natural spots, the Areni Cliffs, where local hosts will share an authentic 3 course meal made with locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Starting in Areni village, you’ll travel offroad to the spectacular heights of Noravank Canyon in the Arpa Protected Landscape, known for its biodiversity. Your dining table will afford a view of the 13th-century Noravank Monastery below, once a major center of Armenian religious and cultural life, as well as glimpses of the majestic bezoar goat, an endangered wild goat species that, thanks to conservation efforts led by wildlife rangers who you’ll meet, are thriving in herds on the cliffs around you. You won’t just learn about Armenia’s rich culinary traditions and wildlife; you’ll be a part of them. Available in English, Russian, and Armenia. As part of our commitment to responsible travel, 2,000 AMD from your booking will be donated to the Arpa Protected Landscape through the Caucasus Nature Fund.

An Armenian Dream

Even several months later, my teammates are still raving about this experience, which we booked to be a fun team retreat. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we got to see Noravank Monastery from an angle that few get to see. The ride up was so much fun - it was like an off-road adventure ascending to the top of the cliff. The welcome drinks, appetizers, entrees - down to the desserts - were delicious, and we really appreciated that the ingredients were locally sourced. Mariam was so swe...read more

Food, location. Views. Hospitality. Local meaning.

After many years knocking around Armenia for work, I han not taken the time to really see Armenian sites and experience the culture. I was completely blown away by this experience. Yes the views, the mountains, the crazy scary jeep ride were all amazing. But the food, wine ,and the stories about local sourcing and traditions took it to a very interesting next step. Couldn't recommend more.
