The building is impressive, the tour basements are all ok. I can't understand why all products in the Factory store are much more expensive than in stores and even than in duty
I recommend visiting the Ararat Brandy Factory Museum, I tell you about the history of cognac, a lot of interesting exhibits, tasting 2 types of cognac when buying a regular ticket.
The guide tells very well about the history of production products and the culture of consumption. You will see beautiful barrels, try a couple of stacks of excellent cognac (5 and 7 years old) and most likely you will be satisfied
You can only get to the factory with an excursion (you need to book on the website in advance, there are only 2 excursions per day not as part of tour groups). The tours are conducted in different languages. The price includes tasting.
The tour itself lasts about 25-30 minutes and tells about the appearance of the plant and the peculiarities of cognac production, tasting takes 30 minutes.
The tour takes place in special halls (of course, no one will show the production). An interesting fact is that the Ararat plant does not say that it appeared thanks to the Noah plant.
The tour is generally interesting, but somehow it is crumpled, the time between different groups is short and you can see what is put on stream.
There is a shop at the factory where you can buy the entire line that is produced at the factory (prices are higher than in the city), there are exclusive copies.
A wonderful place with an exciting tour and interesting tasting programs. We have been there many times and plan to visit more! A great store with a great gift idea!
Good guided tours with tasting. Smiling and supportive employees. I have a very pleasant impression of the visit.
Excursions must be booked in advance.
An interesting tour. A pleasant guide, although he chooses words in Russian, the whole group was prompted. The tasting is great, it's fun, everyone takes an extended package - they teach you how to reveal the taste of cognac. After booking, after a while we wrote to the mail with a request to reschedule the visit, very friendly. The price tag in the store is lower than the supermarket, but not all cognacs are sold.
The museum does not reflect the merits of the people who raised this plant to the world level. These Frenchmen imagined themselves to be the navel of the universe. Armenians will not forget the merits of Edik Hakobyan no matter how hard they try.
I really enjoyed the tour of the museum. The timing was also good. The cost of the tour is 4500 Armenian Drams (about 900 rubles). I definitely recommend visiting this place and taking part in a tasting tour.
An interesting tour, there is a separate museum pavilion, I liked the brandy tasting. But, unfortunately, the production itself is not allowed, at most look at the barrels of cognac in the storage)
Boring. The production is not shown. It is a museum, and not what you would expect from a factory tour. The tasting is quite poor - there are only three types of cognac, which does not open up the whole range of their drinks at all.
It's worth a visit if you've never been here. The tour takes about half an hour. The most interesting thing is, of course, the tasting. Here you can choose a program that is interesting to you.
A wonderful tour, everything is very clear and interesting. They took a package of flavors , it was curious to try, to know whether to buy later or not, because in restaurants they usually pour classics.
The museum is great, but cognac is much cheaper in the city. In duty free, the price is about the same.
Therefore, if you have luggage, then it is better to buy in large supermarkets.
And if there is no luggage, then only in dutik.
To get to the Ararat Brandy Factory Museum, you need to take care of earlier. They are not allowed to enter the factory itself, but you can learn a lot of interesting things in the museum. Excellent staff, a professional guide, you will learn a lot about the production of the plant, about achievements, and how without tasting. In my case, we compared 3-year-old and 7-year-old cognac.

A good tour, but somehow there was not enough entourage and immersion in the material (everything is fast, galloping ...) But the tasting was perfect, there were 3 types of cognacs (10, 15 and 20 years old).
I liked the tasting: it is interesting to compare drinks of different ages. And the tour is an advertisement for a brand that is no longer even Armenian. The production is not shown. I do not recommend it.
An interesting tour, I learned a lot about the production of cognac. The price includes a tasting - even there there is useful information. The cost of excursions varies
An excellent and informative tour of the factory. At the end of the tasting, where I personally expected to see more) but alas, they moistened their lips and sent them on their way
An atmospheric place! Cognac is one of the symbols of Armenia. It is necessary to visit without fail!
But a lot depends on the guide. We were unlucky, the young guy was dry and boring. I could not spoil only the impressions of cognac, and I spoiled everything else very much.
The store is open until 20.00.
The staff and the store itself are modern and pleasant.
You can make personalized stickers on more expensive items. Cognacs are sold that are only for domestic consumption, not for export.
It was a very interesting tour. The girl guide loves her job so much that it is passed on to tourists. The cognac tasting was the final chord. I liked the cognac so much that we decided to switch from wine to cognac 😁
