Avshar Wine Factory

Avshar Wine Factory is one of the leading producers of alcoholic drinks in Armenia, located in the village of Avshar of Ararat Province.

Armenian traditions and folklore suggest that wine production in the region dates back to Noah planting grapes upon his descent from Mount Ararat in the Book of Genesis.
