Sustainability, family, tradition and expertise come together at Karas Wines, an Armenian winery seated under the eternal gaze of Mount Ararat. Karas means 'amphora' in Armenian, a sacred wine-making clay vessel used here for 6,200 years. That, combined with Armenia's ancient oenological culture, inspires them to chart the future of the birthplace of wine while reclaiming the mantle as a producer of the world's most desired wines. Following their mission to produce world-class vintages from their own vineyards in Armavir, Armenia, Karas invites everyone to visit and see the whole process of winemaking, as well as to enjoy Karas wines in the picture-postcard vineyards.
