“Voskevaz“ in Armenian means "golden bunch“. Voskevaz Winery was established in 1932 and is the oldest winery in Armenia. With all of the modern innovations, it still has carefully preserved much of its authentic elements including the buildings. The wines are produced only from local grape varieties and for wine aging are used rare high-quality Armenian oak barrels. All of wines, without exception, reflect the true nature of Armenia.
