Excursion guidée d'une journée au lac Sevan et à Dilijan avec visite de l'usine de vin
Description
Commencez votre voyage dans les eaux azur du lac Sevan, l’un des plus grands lacs d’eau douce d’altitude au monde. Visitez le monastère de Sevanavank sur sa péninsule et profitez d'une vue panoramique à couper le souffle sur le lac et les montagnes environnantes. Continuez jusqu’à Dilijan, souvent appelée « Suisse arménienne », connue pour ses collines boisées et son air frais des montagnes. Explorez le paisible monastère de Haghartsin, caché dans un cadre boisé luxuriant, ou le complexe bien préservé du monastère de Goshavank par temps de neige. Terminez votre journée à l'usine de vin-eau-de-vie Ijevan, où vous découvrirez la vinification traditionnelle et dégusterez des vins et eaux-de-vie locaux.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Bordée de maisons traditionnelles et d'ateliers d'artisans, la rue Sharambeyan vous ramène des centaines d'années en arrière. Située dans un parc national, la région, connue sous le nom de "Petite Suisse" pour ses collines boisées et ses maisons pittoresques en pierre et en bois, abrite de nombreux artistes visuels, musiciens et cinéastes arméniens.
Le monastère de Haghartsin est un superbe chef-d'œuvre architectural médiéval niché dans les forêts luxuriantes. Construit au XIIIe siècle, ce complexe historique est réputé pour ses sculptures en pierre complexes, notamment ses khatchkars (croix de pierre) exquis, et son atmosphère sereine.
L'usine de vin et d'eau-de-vie d'Ijevan est l'une des premières caves à vin d'Arménie. Elle a été fondée en 1951 dans la ville d'Ijevan, région de Tavush, dans la vallée des rivières Aghstev et Spitak Jur. Ijevan est entourée de montagnes couvertes de forêts de feuillus, qui sont parfois remplacées par des prairies alpines. Une situation géographique aussi favorable et d'excellentes conditions climatiques rendent les produits de l'usine encore plus uniques. L'usine produit des eaux-de-vie de haute qualité, des vins de raisin et de fruits, des vins mousseux, des vodkas, des jus et une large gamme de produits en conserve.
Lors de votre séjour en Arménie, vous ne pouvez tout simplement pas manquer l’occasion de visiter l’un des sites les plus connus du pays - le magnifique lac Sevan. À seulement une heure de route de la capitale, Erevan, Sevan est situé à 1900 mètres d'altitude et entouré d'une vaste chaîne de montagnes. La visite commence par monter un escalier vers la péninsule de Sevan - un agréable entraînement matinal qui se compensera par une vue panoramique inoubliable sur le lac depuis le sommet. Nous visiterons également le monastère de Sevanavank, construit par la princesse Mariam pour honorer la vie de son mari décédé au 9ème siècle. Sevanavank abrite également l'un des plus beaux Khachkars Amenaprkich (tous sauveurs) d'Arménie. C'est l'une des 13 pierres de croix les plus rares représentant Jésus.

Would NOT recommend for a non-Russian speaking solo traveller. I’m not saying the tour is bad for groups/Russian speakers but unless you want to be isolated and clueless 80% of the time this tour is not for you. Firstly the tour is advertised as English/Russian. How it works is the guide explains in English then Russian. It is not separated. However, the English version is very basic and much shorter. I do speak/understand a little Russian which I did not inform the guide as I felt it was irrelevant since I signed up in English, thus I know the English version was lacking. This also means that you’re sat there not understanding anything a lot of the time. Also as 90% of the guests were Russian speaking, overall the tour was 80% in Russian. Even when the winery guide was doing the English parts the Yerani guide Sam would joke and laugh in Russian at the side. It was extremely rude and distracting. No fault to the guests, it is not their responsibility to create an inclusive environment. At the monastery, the guide did the explanation in Russian first and told me to wait and come back in 15min. I walked around a bit, came back early and waited at the side for them to finish. The whole group went outside and I thought the guide would return for the English part but he was nowhere to be found. Thus the entire hour I was alone with zero explanation about where I was. Since there was only me and another couple for the English portion there’s no way he just didn’t notice I wasn’t there. Especially as he told me to walk around and come back. The operations side was also poorly handled. First no clear instructions were giving regarding the location and time of the pick up. I had to email in to ask. The minivans are also unmarked. Our minivan then had a problem and we had to change vehicles 15min into the journey. There weren’t enough seats at the back and someone had to go to the front. The guide also was unaware that I had already selected and paid for my meal online when I made the booking.
We were on a nine-hour tour with driver Marat and guide Samwell. Time has flown under the radar, the driver and guide are very positive, open, friendly. Said the guide was very interesting, with notes of humor. We're thrilled.
Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Мы очень рады, что экскурсия прошла для вас легко и приятно, и вы остались довольны работой команды. Будем рады видеть вас снова.
Everything was excellent — a very comprehensive tour with great organization. Our guide, Nektar, was outstanding: professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly throughout the entire trip. She made the experience truly enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear you had an excellent experience and enjoyed the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Recommended guide Nectar is the best
Большое спасибо за ваш отзыв и рекомендацию. Мы рады, что у вас остались положительные впечатления от поездки. Будем рады видеть вас снова.
The tour guide and driver were great, This wine tasting tour is good if you like spirits. We had the meal and the wine tasting at the same Wine making factory if thats the right word. I especially liked the apricot vodka and the mulberry vodka, the 7 year old conac was the best but I think it's expensive to buy a bottle. I had a great time and felt a bit tipsy afterwards but I had energy to hike up the hill to to the church near lake Sevan afterwards. I got some good photos for social media.
Dear guest, Thank you very much for your detailed feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour, the guide and driver, and had a fun wine tasting experience — especially the apricot and mulberry vodka and the 7-year-old cognac. It’s great that you had time and energy to continue exploring and even hike up to the church near Sevanavank Monastery, and capture some great photos for your memories. We really appreciate your review and hope to welcome you again for more enjoyable experiences in Armenia!
I have done 3 tours with them: - Khor Virap, Echmiadzin, Zvartnots with Anahit; - Sevan, Dilijan, Wine tour in Ijevan with Rubyna; - Garni, Geghard, Symphony of Stones, Lavash Baking with Rubyna; Good organization from the agency, everything was good. About the guide, Anahit was excellent but Rubyna was bad. They have to talk in 2 languages (English and Russian). Each time, Anahit take the English group to explain (with free time for the Russian group) and then the Russian group (with free time for the others). It was wonderful. Rubyna, instead, always took the whole group together and explained first in English and then in Russian. We waste a lot of time and then we have less free time for pictures and walking around by ourselves. 4 stars for this
Today I was lucky enough to go on an excursion with highly qualified staff. He spoke English and the guide tried to help me in every way, even trying to speak a little Italian. Beautiful places, maximum organization and great professionalism.
