Momik Wine Winery

A private winery in the village of Areni

Set beneath the mountains in the village of Areni, Vayots Dzor Province, Armenia, the family-run Momik Wines winery (or Momik Wine Cube) offers an engaging and authentic Armenian wine experience with good wine, local food, and khachkar carving workshops. The Wine Cube is an innovative wine tourism business model in Armenia: a tasting center in the very heart of the vineyard, built on the farm-to-bottle concept. The first Momik Wine Cube is located in the village of Areni, in Armenia's picturesque Vayots Dzor region, known for its centuries-old winemaking traditions.

Wine inspired by Armenian culture

The name Momik Wines comes from the famous Armenian architect and sculptor Momik, who built the magnificent Noravank Monastery in the 14th century, near which the vineyard and the Wine Cube now stand. The Momik Wines vineyard has belonged to the family of Nver Kazaryan for more than 40 years. It specializes in growing the endemic Areni grape, for which the region is known, and from which Armenian wines of exceptionally high quality are made. One of Momik Wine's distinguishing features is its approach to winemaking. They seek to preserve and convey the unique characteristics of the place and the aromas of Armenian grapes in every bottle of their wine. To do this, they use traditional winemaking methods, including hand-picking the grapes. The winery's range is small: white, red, and rosé wine. We especially recommend their rosé, with an incredibly fine aromatic bouquet.
