The History of Wines from Persia,
Armenia, and Ararat
On the slopes of the Zagros and Ararat mountains, more than seven thousand years ago, the first vines were planted. The wine-filled amphorae found at Hajji Firuz (Iran) and Areni (Armenia) testify to this ancient connection.
From these lands, the art of winemaking spread across the world, from the banquets of the Achaemenid kings and Armenian festivals to the celebrations of the Greeks and Romans.
Persian wine, celebrated in the verses of Hafez and Khayyam, and Armenian wine, preserved in millennial monasteries, share the same root: mankind's love for the vine and the mystery of the grape cluster.
Today, in your glass, flows this story shared through millennia, a tale born in the heart of the mountains.
After crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach the shores of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, I'll take you to a place in the immediate vicinity to discover the legendary civilization of Persia.
