This can only mean one thing: the <strong data-start=\"2292\" data-end=\"2315\">Areni Wine Festival<\/strong> is a true celebration not only for people living in Armenia but also for visitors to the country.<\/p><p data-start=\"2415\" data-end=\"2759\">A sip of wine can change your mood and create a new one. The same sip brings calmness, a feeling of strength, comfort, and a gentle smile. And sometimes one such sip can transform your entire day. Only at the end of the event do you realize that your mission that day was not only to taste wine, but also to become ambassadors of Armenian wine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c93e2c1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no qodef-elementor-stretch-row-no\" data-id=\"c93e2c1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa69a00\" data-id=\"fa69a00\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-156e3d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-myvoyage_core_section_title\" data-id=\"156e3d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"myvoyage_core_section_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-section-title qodef-alignment--left \">\n\t\t<h6 class=\"qodef-m-subtitle\" >MUST VISIT<\/h6>\n\t\t<h2 class=\"qodef-m-title\" >\n\t\t\t\t\tDAY TWO\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" >\n<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-74babed elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no qodef-elementor-stretch-row-no\" data-id=\"74babed\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c70de49\" data-id=\"c70de49\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c4b935 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c4b935\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"2787\" data-end=\"3012\">Areni-1, also known as the <strong data-start=\"2814\" data-end=\"2832\">\u201cBirds\u2019 Cave,\u201d<\/strong> is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Vayots Dzor. Not visiting this cave means, in a way, passing by one of Armenia\u2019s enormously rich historical treasures unnoticed.<\/p><p data-start=\"3014\" data-end=\"3024\">Why visit?<\/p><ul data-start=\"3026\" data-end=\"3970\"><li data-section-id=\"4iu0fc\" data-start=\"3026\" data-end=\"3180\">In 2010, during archaeological excavations, a 5,500-year-old shoe was discovered inside the cave. It is the oldest leather shoe ever found in the world.<\/li><li data-section-id=\"745ok\" data-start=\"3182\" data-end=\"3584\">During excavations carried out in 2007 at the Areni-1 Cave in Vayots Dzor Province, scientists discovered three human skulls dating back to 4300\u20134000 BC, which later became the subject of research. Armenian scientists, collaborating with international colleagues and using modern technologies, reconstructed the skulls, making it possible to restore the faces and appearance of our distant ancestors.<\/li><li data-section-id=\"n5nf72\" data-start=\"3586\" data-end=\"3970\">During the 2007 excavations, objects related to winemaking were discovered in the cave. According to Boris Gasparyan, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia and the head of the archaeological excavations, the very first stage of excavations at this site brought great success because a grape press was discovered.<\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"3972\" data-end=\"4434\">There had already been assumptions about its purpose, but it was necessary to prove that it was indeed an important component of a winemaking complex. The structural features \u2014 including the presence of a sloped surface typical for winemaking (where crushed grapes released juice that flowed into a special area for fermentation) and the discovery of huge clay vessels buried in the ground near the wine press \u2014 prove that this was a specialized winemaking site.<\/p><p data-start=\"4436\" data-end=\"4545\">Today, this winemaking complex is considered the oldest in the world and dates back to the 4th millennium BC.<\/p><p data-start=\"4547\" data-end=\"4851\">He also shared that grape seeds of the Areni variety, considered one of the ancient varieties, were discovered in the Gnishik Gorge area, not far from Areni. It is believed that grape cultivation has existed in this area for about 6,000 years, as both wild and table grape varieties have been found here.<\/p><p data-start=\"4853\" data-end=\"5012\">The area will serve as an ecotourism destination, and thanks to the installed ticketing system, visitor flows will be controlled to prevent damage to the site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

In their khachkar carving, they use the same type of stone from which the monastery complex itself was built.<\/p><p data-start=\"5796\" data-end=\"5894\">During the experience, they will tell you about both Momik and the traditional ornamental designs.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"5896\" data-end=\"5960\">So, are you still thinking about visiting Vayots Dzor?
