The rich flavors of Armenian fruit vodka
Armenia is famous for its delicious food and drinks, and one of the must-try beverages for tourists is the traditional Armenian vodka made from fruits, known as "oghi." Oghi is a strong alcoholic beverage made from various fruits such as apricots, grapes, pears, plums.... Each fruit has its unique flavor and aroma, and the production process can vary from one region to another.
Armenian apricot oghi is a popular type of oghi, which is made from Armenian apricots, also known as "Armenian gold." The apricots are harvested in the summer and fermented in large barrels for about 10-12 days, after which they are distilled twice to increase the alcohol content. The resulting liquor is aged in oak barrels for up to two years, giving it a rich, golden color and a smooth texture.

Armenian wines: a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts
Armenia has a long and rich history of winemaking, dating back thousands of years. Today, Armenian wines are a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts and are becoming increasingly popular among tourists who want to experience something unique and special.
Wine production occupies a special place in Armenia. During archaeological excavations in 2007 in a cave known as the Areni-1 (Bird's) Cave, near the village of Areni, a group of Armenian and Irish archaeologists discovered the world's oldest winery, which testifies that wine was produced in Armenia 6000 years ago. In the winery, vessels with the remains of wine, grape seeds, and winemaking tools were found: fermentation barrels, a wine press, storage jugs, and pot shards.
