South through Vayots Dzor and into Syunik, with a winery in the middle of the day and Tatev at the end of it. The journey begins with Noravank Monastery, a magnificent complex set among red cliffs and rocky landscapes. It is especially known for the two-storied Church of the Holy Mother of God, one of the most distinctive medieval structures in Armenia. Further along the route, you will visit Tatev Monastery, once a major spiritual center with great scientific and political significance. Surrounded by picturesque mountain landscapes, the monastery is one of the most impressive monuments of Syunik. Here, you will also have the opportunity to ride the Wings of Tatev Ropeway, the longest reversible ropeway in the world. On the way back to Yerevan, the route continues to the old village of Areni, where a 6000-year-old winery was discovered. The tour ends with a visit and wine tasting at Hin Areni wine factory, introducing you to the flavors and character of this famous wine region. The tasting comes late in the route, which is deliberate.
