Wine roads of Areni
Three days in the world’s oldest wine country: the 6,100-year-old Areni-1 cave, family cellars, and Noravank’s red cliffs.
Описание
Archaeologists found the world’s oldest known winery in a cave above the Areni gorge — people have been making wine here for sixty-one centuries, and it tastes like it.
We visit family cellars, not factories; taste Areni noir where it was born, sleep among the vines, and end each evening under more stars than you have seen in years.
