Sightseeing and a wine tour
We have visited many sights with Ayrarattour: Khor Virap, Noravank, Areni-1 cave and we had also a wine tour in Areni. It was amazing, the guide was telling everything so interesting that we didn’t notice how the tour came to the end! The car was really comfortable, everything was excellent, thank you very much for making our trip so special!

I highly recommend Ayrarat tours
We booked a wine tour with Ayrarat tours, and were very happy with everything. They came to pick us up at our apartment, drove us to Karas winery where we spent a few hours and then left us by our apartment again. Armen at Ayrarat tours is very friendly and service minded and ensured we had a pleasant time. I highly recommend both Ayrarat tours and Karas winery!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! It was my pleasure to meet you. Cheers!

Great Experience
Our tour started with a little present and care taking for our convenience by the tour guide. Comfortable car and experienced driver. At the winery Karas we were welcomed very friendly. Got a hat for the outdoor visit and a lot of time for the tour indoor. Our guide from Karas was very professional and spent 3 hours with us. She took care of each question and everything we needed. We got a lot of information about the winery project and philosophy. We were impressed by the social project and I felt grateful for what the owner does for the Armenian People. The tasting itself was a highlight. We were guided through sparkling, white, rose and red wines with an excellent knowledge of our Karas guide. Of course we knew the wine before. Now we love it even more! We bought a bunch of different wines. Taking pictures was allowed and so did we. On the way back home we decided to visit the winery for sure again.
Response from the operator: Dear Sandy, Thank you very much for your kind words. It was my pleasure to accompany you during the trip. We are looking forward to seeing you soon in Armenia! Kind regards, Ayrarat Team

Best wine tour ever!
Do not leave Yerevan without booking this unforgettable wine tour to Karas Winery located in the Armavir region! The tour included pick up from my hotel at 10.00 am. My guide and his driver warmly welcomed me and surprised me with a gift bag of Armenian mountain thyme, traditional Armenian sweets and a magnet. On our one-hour tour to the winery I received a wealth of information about Yerevan, Armenian cultural heritage, geography, current affairs and of course traditional cuisine and wine all while taking in breathtaking views of Mount Ararat, fruit orchards and vegetable beds on our road trip. At Karas winery our lovely wine guide joined us. The wine tour started with a drive through the vineyards. During the drive the history and the high-end technology used in the winemaking process was explained. We stopped at the panoramic viewpoint for breathtaking views over the vineyards. Back at the winery the tour continued with a highly-informative visit to the wine-making facilities. The highlight of the tour was certainly the degustation of five wines (red and white). Unlike other wine tours the wine tasting did not feel rushed. On the contrary, great attention to detail was given to make this an interactive, highly enjoyable and unforgettable experience for the guest. The tour also included a 2000 AMD voucher for purchasing wine on the same day. Needless to say that after the degustation of the exquisite wines you will not let it go to waste! After the wine tasting I was driven back to my hotel. The tour ended at around 3.00 pm. A big thank you again to my guide and driver who were so nice to stop at the farmers´ market along the road in my quest to get Armenian pomegranates. Thank you also to Nona for always checking in with me and making sure I was having a great experience. Extremely professional and sweet service which I can highly recommend to any traveller visiting Yerevan.
Response from the operator: Dear Stefanie, Thank you very much for being our guest. We will be happy to welcome you in Armenia again! With best regards, Ayrarat Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yerevan.
How much does Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $686 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 Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour?
+
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 Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour?
+
Around 2 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour 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.
What is included in Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour?
+
Included: Hotel pick up & drop off; Wine tasting; Special price for any wines purchased on-site; Ride around vineyards; and Full transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Tierras de Armenia Wine Tour include hotel pickup?
+
