The story

Dilijan Wine Fest in Dilijan

An August wine festival at Aghasi Khanjyan's villa in the forested mountain town of Dilijan, gathering more than forty Armenian wineries and restaurants for tastings, master classes and wine painting using a flexible coupon-based tasting system. Its mountain villa setting gives visitors a genuinely scenic alternative to Yerevan's urban wine events.

Dilijan Wine Fest brings Armenia's winemaking culture to the historic grounds of Aghasi Khanjyan's villa each August, transforming the forested resort town of Dilijan, often called Armenia's Little Switzerland for its alpine scenery, into a dedicated celebration of the country's wine industry.
