Alluria Wines Winery

The history of Alluria Wines winery

The winemaking traditions of the Machanyan family go back to a small village called Aylur, near Van. The village took its name from the Alluria River that flowed around it. Inspired by centuries of family winemaking traditions, we created Alluria wines from indigenous Armenian grape varieties grown in our own vineyards. The hot climate and sandy-clay soil of Etchmiadzin in the Ararat Valley gave a fine harvest, which, together with the love and warmth of our hearts, ensured the high quality and distinctive taste of this wine. Our classic blends are made from the Akhtanak and Karmrayut grape varieties. Some of our wines are bottled straight from stainless steel tanks (Alluria the Classic), while the rest are aged in barrels of Artsakh (Caucasian) oak (Alluria the Reserve and Alluria the Dark – Grand Reserve). Recently we started making special Alluria wines from the Khndoghni grape variety (Alluria the Special and Alluria the Special Reserve). We also have a new wine, a special blend of Akhtanak, Karmrayut and Khndoghni (Alluria the Special N3). Today we export to 10 countries. All our wines are made by traditional methods, by spontaneous fermentation, that is, without adding commercial yeast.
