In the evening, there will be a welcome dinner at the restaurant, located in the territory of the carpet factory “Megerian Carpet” - the only one of its kind cozy and atmospheric restaurant.

Gyumri
After breakfast, we will go to the second largest and most important city in the country and its cultural capital - Gyumri. On the way, we will talk about the history of this wonderful city and about famous people from Gyumri. One of them is Frunzik Mkrtchyan ─ People's Artist of the USSR. Gyumri is a city of poets, artisans and art historians. Upon arrival, a visit to the city museum and a follow-up dinner are scheduled Dish of the day: Khashlama is made from lamb.

Having enjoyed Armenian dishes, we will continue the tour around the city. We will have many interesting stories about life, leisure and traditions of local residents, as well as the story about the sad events of 1988. Having a hearty dinner, we will head to the hotel.
3 day
Sanahin
After breakfast, we will go to Lori region. Visit the two monasteries included in the UNESCO heritage ─ Haghpat and Sanahin. We consider it to be wrong to try to describe them, so we won’t undertake to do it. The fact is that this beauty and the spirit of history, soaring in the territory of these monasteries, cannot be described in words. Still, our guide will be able to tell the story of the monasteries and show us many interesting things on the spot, will provide an opportunity to be there alone with yourself in silence. This day will be remembered not only by the greatness of the monasteries seen, but also by dishes made from eco products. All cooked dishes will use products that grow in nearby eco-farms. Our guests will remember the smell of these vegetables for a long time - at least for a few weeks. Some guests often want to repeat this day and plan to come here again the next time they visit Armenia, and we are happy to arrange such wonderful gastronomic adventures for them more than once.

Lunch will be held in a restaurant with beautiful panorama on the river flowing through the city and the nearby forest. Dish of the day: After lunch, we will go to a quiet and very beautiful place called “Parz lich”, named after the lake located nearby, which means “transparent lake”. This is a place where, apart from the birds singing and the rustling of the foliage, nothing more is heard. Services: obstacle course on trees, horseback riding, boat rental. Dinner is planned in one of the most beautiful restaurants in the midst of nature. We will spend the night in one of the hotels in Dilijan.

Когда я искала страну для отпуска, то важны были несколько критериев: вкусно, интересно, безопасно. Так как я уже была наслышана об армянском гостеприимстве, то выбор пал на Армению. Я выбрала гастрономический тур, так как благодаря ему, я смогла бы не только увидеть достопримечательности, но и вкусно поесть. Сначала я опасалась ехать в одиночку, но страх исчез, как только я прилетела в Армению. Команда Partner travel встретила меня как старую знакомую и сразу же угостила национальными сладостями. Так я поняла, что выбрала правильный тур! Помимо стандартных экскурсий на коньячный завод, была приятно удивлена качеством армянских вин, а также камерными сыроварнями с авторскими сырами. Все было безумно вкусно и необычно, но скажу вам одно – приехав в Армению, обязательно попробуйте форель на костре.
