About the experience

Dive into the world of apiculture at Alaverdi Honey Farm & Meadery, where you’ll get an introduction to beekeeping with a tour of our farm, as well as a look at our mead, or honey wine making process. After putting on the necessary protective gear, you’ll watch our bees at work and get to know local beekeeping practices. Then, we’ll tour our honey wine facilities, learning about the fermentation process and seeing how we bottle and label our wines. Finally, our tour will end with a delicious sampling of honey-based dishes like local Armenian style baklava (pronounced pakhlava [pahkh-lah-vah] in Armenian) and of course, our honey wine.

Hosted by Vigen

I’m Vigen, founder and lead beekeeper of Alaverdi Honey Farm & Meadery. I was introduced to beekeeping by my grandfather, who passed down two bee hives to me. Today, our farm has over 160 active beehives, and we’ve expanded our operations to include a meadery and several apitherapy houses, where you can experience the healing power of the buzz of bees. We also produce and sell new beehives to other local farmers, and train local young people in the art of beekeeping. We can’t wait to share the fascinating world of bees with you!
