We visited the Ararat brandy factory with an excursion. The factory building stands on a hill and can be seen from afar. At the entrance, everyone is greeted by the staff of the establishment, there is also a store for all types of factory products and a comfortable waiting area. The tour lasts about an hour and costs from 1100rub. During this time, you will learn about the history of cognac in Armenia, its main production and aging processes, and get acquainted with the historical collection of bottles. In addition, you will hear the stories and stories of the guide related to the Ararat factory. And already in the final part you will feel the taste of the drink at the tasting. Alcoholic beverages, including cognac, are a gift from God, but it is important to use them wisely and to know the measure. "Wine leads to licentiousness, strong drinks lead to violence, and everyone who is addicted to them is foolish" (Proverbs 20:1).

A very interesting place, 3 in 1: the Ararat cognac museum, production and store. The tasting tour is very interesting from different points of view and certainly unforgettable. And in the shop at the factory, you can buy different types of cognac, including small-volume souvenirs, cheaper than in supermarkets. I definitely recommend visiting while in Yerevan

A beautiful building, visible from afar :)
It's great that there are excursions and your own store with a large selection of products at affordable prices. Nice staff and there is a cooler :) in the heat, that's what you need.
We bought a 7-year-old cognac as a gift and to pamper ourselves.
It's delicious, there are no words... We don't know, of course, maybe cognac wouldn't be so tasty at home, because Ararat in Armenia is drunk in its own way - it has its own atmosphere!
Once again, we were convinced that such drinks are a gift from God. The main thing is to use it correctly :)

I am from Bobruisk, Belarus. Ararat always took part in the feast . I recently bought Akhtamar in its original packaging and a factory bottle in the Korona 075 supermarket. It's just terrible. It hits the head like a sugar moonshine. What happened? How to understand? Where is the pleasant intoxication?

I want to draw attention to the disrespectful behavior of the guard towards tourists. After the tour, we decided to use a breathalyzer, asked for a tube, when we started using it, the guard came up and turned off the machine from the outlet, saying that he was already showing everyone the presence of alcohol. There was an unpleasant aftertaste after such a magnificent tour.

The tasting itself is very informative. They explained everything in detail and showed how to open the cognac, gave them time to taste it calmly.

We bought tickets for the tour and tasting, and the first thing we really liked was that we didn't let tourists with children on the tour! The tour introduced me to the history of the development of cognac production in Armenia, it was very interesting. And at the end there was a cognac tasting.

It's a great place. I learned a lot about cognac, as well as the history and traditions associated with it. After the tour (of course not all over the plant), there is a tasting, which allows you to understand the importance of aging, taste and quality differences of varieties. An indescribable fragrance accompanies the tour. Products can also be purchased there. I recommend.

A very tasty place filled with history, traditions and flavors.
The "Share of angels" permeated the air in the basement with magical scents that turn your head.
The tastings are different, from simple to aged drinks.
A good store where you can buy products according to your income and taste preferences.
Thank you ARARAT for the impressions.

An extremely unfavorable impression of the company was left by an attempt to visit a factory tour in Yerevan with a tasting on 06/28/19 at 12:00. The tour was booked, which is confirmed by correspondence. However, when we arrived at the factory, we were told that the factory had not received our confirmation for technical reasons, and there would be no excursion at 12. We've wasted our time, and the mood has soured a bit too. We believe it is necessary to restructure business processes, take measures to eliminate technical failures and improve the skills of staff in the excursion department. Otherwise, the brand image suffers.
