The finest booze on the planet, and don’t you forget it. Armenia is extremely proud of Ararat Cognac and rightly so, and anyone interested in the fascinating history of the beautiful brandy should organise themselves a visit to the Ararat factory. You’ll get to see just why the drink was so popular with the movers and shakers of the world, complete with samples and no small amount of unknown trivia about the city and country it so proudly represents. Tours are available in Russian, English, German, French, Spanish and Armenian.
