ArmInfo. One of the most favorite festivals, both among local residents and guests of the capital, has opened in Yerevan - Yerevan Wine Days. The central streets of Yerevan (Saryan-Moskovyan-Tumanyan) traditionally turned into the city's wine arteries, marking the opening of the wine festival.

This year Yerevan Wine Days will present a new concept based on the  centuries-old history and culture of the Armenian jug (karas). The  main character of the festival is the karas, as a witness and bearer  of history.  The most important goal of the event is to present the  centuries-old history of Armenian winemaking to the whole world, as  well as the development of festival tourism in the region.

The festival will open to visitors almost the entire palette of  Armenian winemaking, presenting about 80 wineries and about 700  varieties of Armenian wines.

As the press service of EventToura, which organizes Yerevan Wine  Days, previously reported, the festival area will be divided into  several zones: wine zone (where visitors can try to get acquainted  with the best assortment of Armenian wines); gastronomic (where up to  30 catering establishments are represented); musical (the stage will  be located at the intersection of Tumanyan-Parpetsi streets);  charitable (in addition to the fact that the festival is a major  tourist and economic event, for 3 years it has also been a platform  for a number of charitable organizations involved in the education  and rehabilitation of soldiers).

In addition, up to 10 retail kiosks will be installed on the wine  streets, where you can purchase "Wine Enjoyment Packages", tickets,  individual glasses; raffle pavilion and souvenir and wine pavilion of  "Yerevan Wine Days". In particular, the "Wine Enjoyment Package",  which has become a symbol of the "Yerevan Wine Days", consists of: a  branded Yerevan Wine Days glass, 12 coupons, a branded glass cover,  an information booklet with an event map, a coupon for the main draw,  information about participating wine companies with QR codes, etc.  The cost of the package is 12 thousand drams.

According to the source, this year, in parallel with the Yerevan Wine  Days festival, EventToura will present a new project: Wine and more:

Business market. At the business market, companies involved in the  production, export or import of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks  will be able to meet in a professional environment and establish  profitable cooperation.
