Bad experience. We arrived there, we are tourists so OBVIOUSLY we don't know how it works, we ask for tickets and the "smart guy" with few hair and glasses at the reception asked us if we have reservation, we say we don't have and we didn't know we needed it and he says "well no reservation no enter" and "now you know!" with a very aggressive and "smart" tone, as if we as tourists should know everything about your museum as if it's some holy place. It would have been fine if he said that with a normal tone and not trying to be the smart guy. Then the guy realised he wasn't being funny and he said something "I'm just joking, here is how you can book it" but at that point we didn't care anymore. Learn how to treat tourists otherwise your country will never attract more

An excellent museum, I recommend it for visiting, both adults and teenagers. A very interesting history of cognac. The tour is conducted in different languages. It's an amazing place. After the tour, you can visit the drinks store and buy as a gift and a memory of this wonderful place. 👍👍

The tour is not very big.
The guide is pleasant, sociable, devoted to many subtleties of cognac production and drinking. The exposition is decent. The staff is polite.
The prices of cognacs in the factory store are lower than in other places in Yerevan.

I recommend. Here you will understand the philosophy of Armenian cognac. And the local aroma, exposition and tasting will make you an expert among your friends and relatives. There is a store. If you want to make a lot of purchases for your loved ones, then make them at the airport before departure, then you will not have to buy luggage, because the ruble exchange rate is higher here and you can pay in bills.

We went on excursions and tastings, we liked everything, I did not even imagine that the Ararat plant stands on a hill and looks beautiful from all sides, it is so well maintained and landscaped. I recommend to all lovers and connoisseurs of Armenian cognac to visit this factory and try real cognac!

An excellent one-hour tour takes place at the Ararat factory, with a cognac tasting at the end of the event. It is very informative and interesting, the cost is 4500 drams per person with the tasting of 5 and 7 years old, and 10,000 drams with tasting of more aged cognacs.

The impression is the most pleasant. From the very threshold, you can smell the noble drink and a good mood accompanies an interesting story about the history and development of production. And, of course, the tasting is a very informative and enjoyable part of the tour.)) I really liked it!👍

It's a great location and a must-see if you're walking around Yerevan!!
You can learn a lot of interesting facts by trying and seeing the cooking and storage processes with your own eyes. There is a shop where you can buy drinks to your taste!!

I recommend visiting the Ararat Brandy Factory Museum. The tour is very interesting, our guide conducted it in one breath, it is immediately clear that she is in love with her business. The price is 4500 AMD, which is about 1200 rubles. At the end of the tour, there is a tasting of three and seven-year-old cognac.
Apart from the museum, nothing else is shown, I would like to visit at least the bottling and packaging line.

A wonderful museum, a great guide-Ani, magical cognacs! These essential pairs of cognac spirits in the storage set up a lyrical mood. I want to hum - Ov sirun, sirun.... For those who are looking for a dream job, I strongly advise you to get a job as a tour guide, a caretaker, or just a watchman. The atmosphere in the workplace is incomparable. The highest score.

The exposure is very mediocre. It's just a "museum" with a multimedia exhibition and a couple of exhibits of no value. For a mass tourist. You won't see any production lines or storage basements. Tasting... it is easier to buy the cognac you are interested in in the store.
In addition, there are great difficulties with registration for excursions. And the staff at the information desk and the tour registration desk are absolutely rude and not polite.
A tour of the NOAH factory is much more interesting. There is a historical building (a former fortress), and amazing storage cellars, and an unrealistically atmospheric tunnel, goosebumps))) And a tasting of delicious vintage port wine on the minus 3rd floor of the vault. It doesn't compare!!!

I met Varlamov there. He was just checking the price and didn't buy anything. I'll attach a photo.
I liked the tour, but there are certain nuances: 1. they are not allowed to shoot, whereas in other distilleries (Armenia and Georgia) they treat it positively and ask to post videos on youtube. 2. The schedule of excursions is disgusting. Believe me, after a little preparation, I would have told everything myself as well as the guide and would not have been tired at all - I mean, you can tell everything to a group of 2 people at a convenient time for them, even your mouth will not dry out. The exposition is weak, the Noah plant has put more effort into the exhibits and atmosphere, but they allow offensive criticism of the Ararat plant, which is not worth doing.

I attended an excursion to the EKZ with a tasting, signed up through the official website of the EKZ. I really liked the tour, the girl guide is a big smart girl, she told me, showed me, answered all the questions and taught me how to drink and love cognac. If you are in Yerevan, be sure to visit the ECZ.

It was interesting to visit the Ararat factory Museum. Many people know about the famous Armenian cognac. Please note - this is an excursion to the museum!!! Not for production, unfortunately. But all the same, we learned a lot of interesting things about the production of cognac.

This cognac museum is right next to the Ararat factory! Must-visit!
On the tour you will get a lot of interesting information about the history of cognac production, Armenian traditions, and you will also be able to taste and enjoy a magnificent bouquet!

Cool! The impressions are great. What spoils the overall picture a little is the conveyor belt, very large groups, and the atmosphere suffers because of this. The factory's products are excellent and different from what is sold in stores under the Ararat brand.

Even those who do not like strong drinks will be interested in listening to the tour. The exposition is small, but comprehensive. At the end, there is a tasting of a couple (or more, depending on the tickets) types of cognac.

I attended a tasting tour for 10,000 drams (3 cognacs - 10, 15 and 20 years of aging). It was the best choice for me (I booked it on the website in advance). The guide's story is interesting, informative, with a love for winemaking and Armenia. The guests are not taken to the production, but the story is interesting, the tasting is unhurried and competent. There are many opportunities for beautiful photos. They allow you to take photos for free without a flash, and it is forbidden to shoot videos. It's worth buying cognac at the museum! It's really cheaper than in the store (I compared it with the prices of Parma and SASA that evening).

It was not possible to get on the tour here, as everyone books in advance!
And the atmosphere and the factory itself is impressive.
But there's a Noah factory across the river, and the tour is great!!!

An interesting tour and tasting. Everything is very well done. Even if you are not fond of alcoholic culture, you may like the sightseeing activity in Yerevan.
But it must be borne in mind that the process itself, for example, bottling in workshops, will not be visible. The tour includes a visit to a special museum part and rooms where spirits ripen in barrels.

The staff are very pleasant and friendly. The tour is interesting, quite detailed. Yes, they will not take you to the bottling itself, etc., but they will show and tell you a lot.
The staff is very pleasant, the attitude towards Russian people is good.
They give you as much time as you want for tasting), we had three types of cognac - the amount of drink was enough to get drunk)))

We were pleased with the hospitality of the staff, we settled in without paying for the room (the money was paid late in the evening). The location is good, the room was very large, but the furniture is old, plumbing from the beginning of 2000. It's fine to spend the night, you shouldn't count on more. Breakfasts are also from the 2000s.
