Ararat Yerevan Brandy Factory

On the scenic bank of the Hrazdan River stands the Ararat Yerevan Brandy Factory — one of the symbols of Yerevan and of Armenia as a whole, known around the world for its distinctive, aromatic brandies. This is a place where history and tradition intertwine with modern technology, creating brandies that win the hearts of connoisseurs of this noble drink. The history of the Yerevan Brandy Factory begins in 1887, when the first-guild merchant Nerses Tairyants founded the first winemaking enterprise in Armenia. In 1899 the factory passed into the ownership of Nikolai Shustov, who significantly expanded production and began making brandies. It is from this moment that the history of the legendary Armenian brandy "Ararat" begins. The factory holds a unique collection of brandy spirits, some of which have been aged for more than 100 years. This makes it possible to create brandies with a distinctive taste and aroma. Ararat brandies have won numerous international awards and the recognition of connoisseurs from around the world. They are a symbol of quality and luxury. The Ararat Yerevan Brandy Factory carefully preserves the traditions of Armenian brandy production, passed down from generation to generation. At the same time, the factory uses modern technology that allows it to create brandies of the highest quality, including for presentation on all world markets. On the factory grounds there is a museum where you can learn about the history of Armenian brandy, see the brandy production process, and taste various types of brandy.
