    1. Noy Yerevan Ararat Brandy-Wine-Vodka Factory

      Noy Cognac Factory is located in front of Ararat Factory, next to the City Hall and Victory Bridge. The plant was built in 1877 by the merchant Nerses Tairian, who decided to start producing wine and was helped by his relative, by the legendary artist O. Ayvazovsky. The plant is located inside the famous Erivan fortress, built in the 16th century by Farad Pasha. Inside you will find a wonderful excursion program in the cellar, catacombs and a tasting room, and in front of the entrance there is a lovely shop where you can make purchases.

    2. ARARAT Museum

      One of the pride of the Armenian nation is the legendary Ararat Brandy Factory. After the construction in 1887 by Nerses Tairyan, the plant was sold to Nikolai Shustov and continued its development under his leadership. In 1900, during the "Blind Tasting" in France, he first gained worldwide fame, a gold medal and the right to use the word cognac instead of brandy. During the Soviet Union time, the legendary cognac was transported to the Kremlin for a long time, and according to legend, it was Winston Churchill's favorite cognac.For several years in a row he was awarded the Product of the Year in Russia. Inside there is a museum with an excursion program in several languages, cognac tasting room and a shop where you can shop for yourself and for your loved ones.

    3. Central Market

      Operating since the days of the USSR, the GUM market is located on Khorenatsi street, next to the Tashir shopping center, and currently considered as the unofficial central market of Yerevan. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the old complex was destroyed, after which the warehouse next to the old market was reopened, and the name was left the same (GUM-Main Department Store). The market has a fairly large territory where you can buy a variety of delicious fruits, dried fruits, Armenian bread-lavash, meat and fish, and this all from the first village hands.

    4. Vernissage Market

      Vernissage is located near Republic Square and stretches to the monument of Vardan Mamikonyan. The history of the famous Vernissage market dates back to 1980, when Armenian artists sold their paintings. After that, the artists moved to Saryan Park, and instead of them, sellers of souvenirs came there. Gradually, the market expanded and turned into a market of national handicrafts in the open air, receiving the French name Vernissage. There you will have a great opportunity to buy gifts for your family and friends, as well as purchase something for yourself.

    Shopping with Brandy: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yerevan.

    How much does Shopping with Brandy cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yerevan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Shopping with Brandy take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yerevan is not rushed.

    Is Shopping with Brandy worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yerevan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Shopping with Brandy?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Shopping with Brandy suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shopping with Brandy?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yerevan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yerevan and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shopping with Brandy start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yerevan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Yerevan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Yerevan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Group Tour: Lake Sevan (Sevanavank), Dilijan (Goshavank, Haghartsin), Group Tour: Khor Virap, Garni temple, Geghard, Lavash baking, Group Tour: Garni pagan temple, Geghard monastery, Lake Sevan, Sevanavank. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Yerevan?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Yerevan?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +

    Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Guide service,Photo service,Treats in the car,Hotel drop-off. Not included: Lunch; and Sightseeing Tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Shopping with Brandy offered in?

    +

    Is Shopping with Brandy wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
