Description
Rejoignez-nous pour profiter de la belle nature de Sevan et Dilijan. En vous promenant dans Dilijan, vous vous retrouverez dans un quartier unique avec des maisons intéressantes et des balcons en bois. Vous croiserez les œuvres de menuisiers, boulangers, potiers et bijoutiers. Simulant les conditions naturelles, la ville est parfois appelée "Suisse arménienne". Nous visiterons également l'usine d'eau-de-vie de vin Ijevan, où les visiteurs peuvent visiter les installations de production, en apprendre davantage sur le processus de vinification et profiter de dégustations guidées qui mettent en valeur les saveurs et les arômes authentiques de l'Arménie.

Itinéraire
Mariam, la fille du roi Ashot I, a promis de construire 30 églises en l'honneur de son défunt mari. Elle a tenu sa promesse toute sa vie. L'une d'elles, Sevanavank, a été construite en 874. Fondée au 4ème siècle, Sevanavank a connu son développement au 9ème siècle. Outre les deux églises debout, le khatchkar unique du XVIIe siècle, avec ses nombreuses scènes bibliques, mérite une attention particulière. Le nom de la capitale, Erevan, a été enregistré pour la première fois sur le dôme de Sevanavank.
Le premier endroit que nous visiterons est le lac Sevan, la beauté de l'Arménie. Se trouvant à 1900 mètres d'altitude, Sevan est le deuxième lac le plus haut du monde avec une réserve d'eau douce. Sevan, d'origine volcanique, est entourée de chaînes de montagnes divisées en deux parties et une grande péninsule. Le lac Sevan jouit d'une grande popularité parmi les touristes pour les loisirs actifs et passifs. Avec une profondeur maximale de 83 mètres, Sevan est le seul des trois lacs arméniens historiques situés sur le territoire de la République d'Arménie.
Bien qu'il soit d'usage en Arménie d'utiliser principalement des pierres de tuf ou de basalte pour la construction, deux types de pierres ont été utilisés pour le monastère de Haghartsin : le travertin et le basalte. Construit en pierre blanche, ce monastère a sa propre place dans la culture et l'éducation arménienne depuis le 10ème siècle. Le monastère avait été construit pendant environ trois siècles, dans la belle vallée des forêts de Tavush, au cœur même de la forêt. Voici également le réfectoire du monastère, qui est considéré comme un chef-d'œuvre architectural. En plus des structures réelles, il y a aussi un mausolée royal ici. Au fait, de la gata très savoureuse est vendue près d'ici.
L'un des centres spirituels et éducatifs les plus célèbres de l'Arménie médiévale est Goshavank, qui tire son nom de l'ecclésiastique et scientifique multi-talentueux Mkhitar Gosh. La collection de lois créées par lui est considérée comme exceptionnelle pour son époque, et a été utilisée dans de nombreuses législations du monde à ce jour. Le complexe du monastère composé de cinq églises, trois chapelles, un vestibule et un réfectoire, ne laissera aucun touriste curieux indifférent. Le monastère est situé dans le village homonyme de Gosh. Le khatchkar brodé du XIIIe siècle, appartenant au maître Poghos, mérite une attention particulière.
Lors de la visite guidée d'Ijevan Wine and Brandy Factory, vous explorerez les halls de production où sont élaborés des vins fins et des eaux-de-vie à partir de cépages locaux. Apprenez-en davantage sur le processus fascinant — de la sélection et de la fermentation des raisins au vieillissement et à la mise en bouteille.Après la visite, dégustez plusieurs vins et eaux-de-vie signatures, accompagnés de collations locales légères. Vous découvrirez les arômes profonds, les saveurs riches et les textures lisses qui ont fait d'Ijevan un nom apprécié dans la culture viticole arménienne.
Depuis le véhicule, admirez l'atmosphère de ce quartier historique, où les artisans locaux, les galeries d'art et les cafés confortables recréent l'esprit de la vieille Arménie. C’est un rappel pittoresque du passé de Dilijan en tant que retraite préférée des artistes et des poètes.

Awesome full-day tour, car (minivan) in perfect conditions, WiFi onboard (!), on time at each point of stop/restart, lunch in an offline venue (Restart Boutique Hotel, quiet/peaceful/great food/private), good driver, gorgeous Armenian’s landscapes and historical masterpieces. On top of all that, however, one of the best guide in the planet, who managed to interact, involve, teach, share, emphasize her knowledge and professionalism. Ages just 23, ms Anna Symonian marked the difference from a “guided tour” to an unforgettable experience! Well done Anna and One Way Tours!
Very scenic, cool weather. Good mix of monastry and nature. I did in the midst of hot july month and this was a good escape from the burning sun. It is around 20 degrees most of the time, need a light jacket when the wind blow.
It was a wonderful day trip. Sambad knows a lot and lead an interesting tour. We learned a lot about Armenia.

In June, I joined the Sevan – Dilijan – Haghartsin – Goshavank – Ijevan Wine & Brandy Factory tour with One Way Tour, and it exceeded my expectations. The entire trip was very well organized from start to finish. Everything ran on time, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and we had enough time to enjoy every destination without feeling rushed. A special thank you to our guide, Jasmine, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the day. She shared fascinating stories about Armenia's history, culture, and traditions, making every stop much more meaningful. She also made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and was always happy to answer questions. Every place we visited was beautiful in its own way. The peaceful monasteries of Haghartsin and Goshavank, the stunning scenery of Lake Sevan, and the charming town of Dilijan made this trip unforgettable. The highlight for me was definitely the Ijevan Wine & Brandy Factory. Besides tasting excellent Armenian wines and brandy, we had a guided tour inside the factory, where we learned about the production process from grape to bottle. It was both informative and enjoyable, and gave us a deeper appreciation for Armenia's winemaking tradition. I highly recommend One Way Tour to anyone visiting Armenia. If you're looking for a professionally organized tour with an excellent guide and a perfect mix of nature, history, culture, and local flavors, this is a fantastic choice! Thank you, Jasmine and the One Way Tour team, for such a memorable experience! I would definitely travel with you again.

Amazing guide, an amazing group, and unforgettable memories. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. Since I had already visited Dilijan and several monasteries before, the highlight of the trip for me was the Ijevan Wine Factory.

A long but great day! Our guide Ana was excellent, and so was the driver. I thought that the time allocated to each of the monasteries was perfect: enough to explore everything at a reasonable pace, but not too long either (in our group everyone more or less naturally finished exploring around the meeting time at each location).
