- Dilvados - Join us in the green, forested mountains of Tavush to taste a selection of our Armenian fruit spirits, made using ingredients that come straight from the forest. At our production facility and tasting room, located in Aghavnavank village, you’ll get to know how we distill high-quality fruit spirits, called oghi in Armenian, and get to taste a range of them, including wild plum, quince, grape, fig, and our special Mixology spirit made of a mix of different types of local pears and apples.
While our standard tasting experience typically lasts for about one hour, we love getting to know each of our guests personally, and you’re more than welcome to spend the day at our facility, drinking (responsibly) and enjoying a local meal paired perfectly with our spirits. Armenia’s Tavush region is known not only for its wild fruits and vegetables but also high-quality meats like pork, lamb, chicken, duck, turkey, and quail. We’d love to sit down for a meal with you as well as a tasting – just let us know ahead of time after booking your tasting experience.
- Expert-led Tasting: Arnak, founder of Dilvados by DOC, will guide you.

This experience is unique as it allows you to immerse yourself in the rich tradition of Armenian fruit spirit distillation, where you’ll not only learn the craft but also savor high-quality spirits crafted from local fruits, some foraged from untamed wilderness. Amidst the serene forest setting, you can relish the pure mountain air and get to know your host, fostering a sense of calm and connection that will only enhance your experience.
