NOA Wines

Located in the enchanting Areni region of Armenia, NOA Winery is synonymous with artisanal craftsmanship, rich tradition, and exceptional quality. This remarkable winery was founded by Jakob Schuler of St. Jakobskellerei Schuler & Cie AG Schwyz, one of Switzerland’s oldest and most prestigious wineries. His passion for wine and curiosity about the origins of this ancient craft led him to the Caucasus, the birthplace of wine, in 2013. After numerous vineyard visits and extensive tastings, Schuler decided to establish NOA Winery in the Vayots Dzor province, a region renowned for its historical winemaking traditions and ideal terroir.

By 2017, the company had acquired two of the most prestigious vineyards in Rind and Aghavnadzor, now recognized as some of the best-managed vineyards in Armenia. These high-altitude plots, situated between 1,200 and 1,500 meters above sea level, allow for slow, controlled grape ripening and give NOA’s wines their characteristic freshness, elegance, and refinement.
