Corinthian Travel has created the ultimate itinerary for wine buffs: Vineyards & Valleys, Armenia uncorked (https://www.corinthiantravel.co.uk/tours/vineyards-valleys-holiday-armenia/).

Armenia is one of the world's oldest winemaking regions and boasts a viticultural heritage dating back over 6,000 years (Winston Churchill famously would only drink Armenian brandy).

Travelling around in a private, chauffeur-driven vehicle, accompanied by a personal English-speaking guide, discover breathtaking mountain trails, uncover ancient, hidden monasteries, and savour world-class wines in this little-visited ancient land.
