It has been several days that Armenian wine days are being held in the world-renowned Wine City Museum titled “Armenia, the Charming Country of Wine.”
In November 2017, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between tVine and Wine Foundation of Armenia (VWFA) and the La cite du Vin Museum, according to which from May 2018 the Armenian wine days will be regularly held in the museum for a year.

Within the framework of the visit, meetings with leading wine experts as well as presentation of Armenian wines and tastings were held for representatives of Armenian communities of Paris, Bordeaux and Toulouse, and French importers.
The presentation of Armenian wines was organized with the support of the Armenian International Inter-ethnic Gang in Paris within the framework of cooperation with the VWFA.
Director of VWFA Zaruhi Muradyan says: “I highly appreciate the organization of Armenian events in the world’s best wine museum, and I am confident that it will greatly contribute to the realization of our mission, which is contributing to the recognition and demand of Armenian wines in the world. The high praise of the French people is quite encouraging to our wines, as it is evidence of the high quality of our wines and having the characteristics that satisfies the international wine lovers.”
