Traditional Yerevan Wine Days to be held this year on June 3-4

ArmInfo.This year, the traditional Yerevan Wine Days (YWD) will take place on June 3 and 4. Co-founder of the festival Mary Badalyan announced this.

This year, 37 domestic wine producers will present their products.  Answering a question from an ArmInfo correspondent, Badalyan said  that from year to year, at least about 10 new winemakers participate  in the festival. " There will also be a lot of new companies thhis  year that are gradually replacing our old manufacturers," she  stressed.

At the same time, the co-founder of the festival said that given that  the main goal of the festival is to help domestic winemakers sell  their products as much as possible, she noted that this year it will  be possible to deliver wines purchased at the festival through the  national postal operator, HayPost.

"Last year the festival was attended by about 35 thousand people. And  there was little space for free movement of citizens. It was very  difficult to move around with bottles of wine in hands, which makes  it impossible to fully enjoy the environment of the largest wine  festival in Yerevan. Therefore, this year we decided to provide  convenience for our guests by solving logistical issues in a similar  way", Badalyan noted.

According to her, the festival will start at 4:00 pm and last until  10:30 pm. Admission is free.

It should be noted that the Yerevan Wine Days festival is held in  Armenia every year, on several central streets of Yerevan - Saryan,  Moskovyan and Tumanyan, starting from 2017. The purpose of the event  is the development of Enotourism.
