About the experience

Join us at the Hovaz Wines Tasting Room in the center of Dilijan to learn how we produce our sparkling rosé wines using the same traditional method used in Champagne, France, with the option of taking home your own bottle, which you will cork and label yourself. First, you’ll get to know the traditional method of making sparkling wine. Then you’ll see how the leese, or the leftover yeast particles produced naturally during the fermentation process, is removed from bottles that are ready to be corked. After removing the lees, you’ll have the opportunity to cork and label a bottle yourself by hand, which you can later purchase and take home with you! Finally, you’ll sit down with our expert wine guide to taste our sparkling rosé wine, paired with a local cheese and meat board. You’ll learn how to properly taste and truly appreciate this traditional sparkling wine, which we produce using the local Areni Noir red grape variety, and get to know a bit about our wide selection of local fine wines, which you can purchase from our shop.

Hello! My name is Nelly and I will be your guide for this sparkling wine tasting experience. I have studied winemaking and wine business at the EVN Wine Academy, Armenia’s premier enology school. After successfully graduating from their program, I moved from Yerevan to Dilijan, where I currently manage the Hovaz Wines Tasting Room. I look forward to hosting you at our tasting room and answering any and all questions you may have about Armenian wine, winemaking, and tasting. Cheers!
