It's beautiful and interesting, but a little weak. The storage for favorites is shown only in the photo, the tasting is short. But the staff are great, it's clear that they love their job. Shop at reasonable prices
A great place, left a great impression, a guide and tasting, at a high level. The presentation of information and material simply left no choice, you certainly want to take something with you in the store!
Yes, this place is worth a visit. It feels like a place with a lot of history. Excellent guide, pleasant tasting. Everything is clean, pleasant and smells of cognac)). I recommend it!
A short tour and a small tasting. I would like to see some kind of whole process, at least bottling. And since they only showed part of the storage, it's not really interesting to look only at the barrels.
Very interesting! The history of creation, production, acquaintances and great people who were not only indifferent to the Ararat brandy factory, but also loved these cognacs very much! It is a very picturesque place, and you can see almost the whole of Yerevan from above! I highly recommend visiting!
The museum is "everything behind glass", you can't take pictures of anything.
But a very good guide, and tasting (as I went to a lecture - "how to drink cognac correctly") 👍
It's not interesting. The tour is short, the production process is not shown. You can go to those who are interested: 1. stories about awards, 2. the type of oak barrels and bottles, 3. there is absolutely nothing to do. The most interesting thing is the tasting, again, for this money you can taste.
A good modern museum. They will tell you in detail about the history of Armenian cognac, you can see rare bottles. An interesting room with barrels that were put on hold when visiting famous people. The tasting is also done professionally, good luck to the museum and Ararat cognac!
I want to make a reservation right away that I am not an expert or even a lover of cognac. The review refers to the visually interactive part.
We went on an excursion as there were several free hours left before departure. The ticket was booked the day before via the website. The expectations were very skeptical. As usual, they will take you through the basements, then they will drive everyone into the tasting room, quickly pour and say goodbye (many non-private factories sin this).
Have arrived. The guide met us and we went.
First of all, I want to mention the work of the staff, people love what they do and are happy to share information with visitors.
Next, the design of the plant, a very relevant format has been chosen for tourists - traditions + interactive. I want to look at the room, it's interesting.
Well, in the final tasting, the cozy hall is tastefully decorated. Basic information for mass tourism that doesn't look hackneyed. 2 types of cognac, several grains of chocolate. The purest glasses.
I have the most pleasant impressions!
I advise everyone. A tour of the legendary factory, but of course a small part that can be shown. At the end of the tasting of the products, three glasses of different cognac, choose the age of the cognac products for tasting at the time of payment for the tour. There is also a store of original goods from the ARARAT factory, you can buy real Armenian cognac.
I was on an excursion with a tasting of 3 cognacs. A great tour, it was interesting to hear how cognac and barrels are made for it. Everything is very modern with video accompaniment, lighting and the names of famous people on the barrels) There was a choice between the Ararat and Noah factories, the locals advised Ararat. If you are in Yerevan, you must visit!
We booked the tour ourselves through the factory's website. After reading reviews about the crowds of tourists on the cheapest excursion, we decided to take a package with a tasting of the company's new products, cognac drinks with coffee and apricot. Indeed, there were only 10 of us on the tour.
The girl guide gave an excellent account of the history of the factory and the cognac production process. Recently, the Ararat company became part of the French company Pernod Ricard, the company's symbolism and all packaging were changed.
The museum is impressive, everything is done at a very high level, informative and unobtrusive. At the end there was a tasting of cognac with halva. You could also buy your favorite products at slightly cheaper prices than in supermarkets.
An interesting tour, we chose and signed up on the website. Since there were not many people willing to taste cognac at 10 a.m., we found ourselves alone with the guide, so we can consider the tour individual. The guide told a lot and it was interesting, they constantly asked questions, which she tried to answer. At the end, there is a tasting of 3 varieties of decent cognac. I recommend. We took a ticket for 7500 AMD for one, 15,000 for two. We paid with a MIR card
An excursion to the Ararat Brandy Factory Museum is definitely worth a visit. What they tell and show is worthy and interesting, but everything pales in front of the smell — mixtures of various cognac vapors. They say that in summer, in such an atmosphere, you can really get drunk in a couple of hours. :)
How can you be in Yerevan and not visit the Ararat Museum, you definitely need to climb the stairs. Enjoy the view from the height of the city. Go to the museum store and buy cognac to your taste. And the choice is not small there
The museum is impressive. The excursions are very interesting - they tell the whole process from the grape harvest to the bottling of cognac. I liked everything.
A very cool tour, everything was explained in detail what is being done and how. Various historical facts and so on, in short, it is interesting. Also after that there was a tasting of the products.
An interesting tour. A pleasant guide, although he chooses words in Russian, the whole group was prompted. The tasting is great, it's fun, everyone takes an extended package - they teach you how to reveal the taste of cognac. After booking, after a while we wrote to the mail with a request to reschedule the visit, very friendly. The price tag in the store is lower than the supermarket, but not all cognacs are sold.
You can only get to the factory with an excursion (you need to book on the website in advance, there are only 2 excursions per day not as part of tour groups). The tours are conducted in different languages. The price includes tasting.
The tour itself lasts about 25-30 minutes and tells about the appearance of the plant and the peculiarities of cognac production, tasting takes 30 minutes.
The tour takes place in special halls (of course, no one will show the production). An interesting fact is that the Ararat plant does not say that it appeared thanks to the Noah plant.
The tour is generally interesting, but somehow it is crumpled, the time between different groups is short and you can see what is put on stream.
There is a shop at the factory where you can buy the entire line that is produced at the factory (prices are higher than in the city), there are exclusive copies.
The building is impressive, the tour basements are all ok. I can't understand why all products in the Factory store are much more expensive than in stores and even than in duty
I recommend visiting the Ararat Brandy Factory Museum, I tell you about the history of cognac, a lot of interesting exhibits, tasting 2 types of cognac when buying a regular ticket.
A wonderful place with an exciting tour and interesting tasting programs. We have been there many times and plan to visit more! A great store with a great gift idea!
Good guided tours with tasting. Smiling and supportive employees. I have a very pleasant impression of the visit.
Excursions must be booked in advance.
The guide tells very well about the history of production products and the culture of consumption. You will see beautiful barrels, try a couple of stacks of excellent cognac (5 and 7 years old) and most likely you will be satisfied
I really enjoyed the tour of the museum. The timing was also good. The cost of the tour is 4500 Armenian Drams (about 900 rubles). I definitely recommend visiting this place and taking part in a tasting tour.
