Delightful Charm of Gata
Armenian cuisine is rich with flavors and aromas, and one of the most beloved desserts is gata, a traditional Armenian coffee cake that has been enjoyed for centuries. This pastry is often served with tea or coffee and is a staple in Armenian households and bakeries. Gata is a delightful dessert to eat any time of year.
Maybe it’s the mix of flavors or the way they are so light and fluffy. No matter what it is, one thing is for sure: you will never be able to eat just one piece!

Armenian brandy: a timeless tradition
Armenian brandy, or cognac as it’s called by locals, is made from selected grapes that are grown in the Ararat Valley. This strong alcoholic beverage is historically famous all over the world for its high quality, incredible flavor, and best traditions.
The story of Armenian brandy dates back to the 19th century when a group of Armenian merchants decided to start producing their own version of brandy, inspired by the French cognac-making process. Using local grapes and traditional distilling methods, they created a spirit that was uniquely Armenian yet of the highest quality.
