Like its rich winemaking history, the Armenian art scene has proven equal prominence, as many Prehistoric Armenian art pieces are estimated to date back more than 4,000 years.

Steakarar, the newest restaurant from restaurateur Vahe Baloulian, opened in June of 2022 with a mission: to create a unique dining experience that’s neither high-end nor diner-style fast food.

Experts from premier wine regions around the globe visit Vayots Dzor to consult, advise, or simply study the unique terroir. One of those visiting wine experts included US-based Master of Wine (MW) Lisa Granik, who came to Armenia to consult with Storica Wines, a US importer of Armenian wines. During a tour of vineyards in Vayots Dzor and Van Ardi in Ashtarak, Granik spent her time cataloging the terroir, taking notes, and snapping pictures of the spring vines. Her task, most like that of other consultants making the trip to the Caucasus, is to learn how Armenian winemakers are using the unique terroir and grape varieties to make wines that capture a slice of the international market.
