Hi Ani. I get back home.Our recent tour of Armenia was nothing short of extraordinary! A highlight of the trip was our visit to a unique distillery, where we met a passionate distiller who shared his journey of leaving city life to pursue his craft. Tasting the finest Armenian fruit spirits he meticulously creates was an experience like no other. Paired with expertly grilled meats, the flavors were a true reflection of local life and tradition.

The cherry on top was a surprise concert held in a mystical cave. The natural acoustics of the cave amplified the music beautifully, creating an enchanting atmosphere that left us all spellbound. I cannot recommend this experience enough to anyone looking to connect with the rich traditions of Armenia! I highly recommend traveling with Cascade

Our tour of Armenia was an incredible exploration of both its culinary delights and breathtaking landscapes. One of the most memorable experiences was the hands-on cooking class at a charming guesthouse. Under the guidance of one of Armenia’s top chefs, we prepared local fish and enjoyed a delightful dessert of baked fruit with honey and nuts. The chef’s expertise and patience made the experience enjoyable and educational, allowing us to truly appreciate Armenian culinary traditions.We felt very special when we knew Yura cooked for presidents, Emanuel Macron and the Cancler of Germany Angela Merkel.

The beauty of Armenia added to the charm of this trip. From stunning mountains to picturesque landscapes, every view felt like a painting come to life. Our tour manager provided exceptional service throughout, always attentive and ready to assist with any questions or needs we had. This journey allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the warmth of Armenian culture and its natural beauty, making it a deeply enriching experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the heart and soul of Armenia!
