Saghmosavank Canyon, Alphabet Monument, Voskevaz Winery Group Tour

This tour covers a different side of Armenia from the country’s more famous southern and eastern routes. In Aragatsotn province, it combines a monastery perched dramatically above a gorge, a monument celebrating the invention of the Armenian alphabet, and one of the country’s respected wineries — religious history, national cultural identity, and wine, all in a single 6-hour day from Yerevan.

Tour Overview

This is a group tour running 6 hours, departing from and returning to Yerevan the same day, with a guide and transport included throughout. Guides are available in English and Russian. Rather than booking a private vehicle, you join other travelers, which keeps the price lower while covering three distinct stops.

Saghmosavank Monastery: A Medieval Monastery Above Kasagh Gorge

The tour begins at Saghmosavank Monastery, a magnificent medieval monastery perched above the dramatic Kasagh Gorge, offering breathtaking views and a glimpse into Armenia’s rich religious heritage.

Armenian Alphabet Monument: A Tribute to Armenia’s Literary Legacy

The tour continues to the Armenian Alphabet Monument, a unique tribute to the Armenian alphabet and the nation’s literary legacy. Built to honor Mesrop Mashtots, who created the Armenian alphabet in the 5th century, the site lets you stroll among giant carved stone letters — one of Armenia’s most beloved cultural landmarks.

Voskevaz Winery: Where Tradition Meets Modern Winemaking

The day concludes at Voskevaz Winery, where ancient winemaking traditions meet modern craftsmanship. You’ll explore the winery, learn about indigenous Armenian grape varieties, and enjoy a tasting of distinctive local wines.
