Winery Voskevaz

The Armenian wine house Voskevaz is located in the village of Voskevaz. This village is located in the Aragatsotn region. In Armenian, the word ‘Voskevaz’ has a beautiful meaning, namely: ‘Golden forest’. The surroundings of the winery are extremely diverse. The region contains various cultural layers of the original Armenian civilisation. The winery also has a rich history. For example, parts of ‘karases’, which are Armenian clay amphorae, were found nearby. In the past, these clay amphorae were used to mature the wine.

Voskevaz, a winery with history

The Voskevaz winery was founded about 90 years ago. To be more specific, in 1932. During the establishment of the winery, the Soviet Union was ruling the area. Initially, this also had consequences for the winery, because a prohibition was introduced. This was done to reduce the consumption of alcohol. Not so much the consumption of alcohol, but the production. It was therefore forbidden to produce wine during that period, but the Armenian wine makers from Voskevaz did not give up and continued to produce wine.
