A day in the village

A day in the village is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with Armenian culture. We offer you a trip to a village near Yerevan, where you will be hospitable to a local culinary enthusiast. During the tasting of a huge variety of homemade cheese, ham, wines and spirits, the owner of the house will tell you about the features of recipes and share some cooking secrets. At the end of the tour, together we will cook and try tonri chorovac - kebab, cooked in tonyr - an underground clay oven.
