Armenia will participate in the first ever Wine Travel Awards 2021-2022 online wine tourism awards to be held in March 2022. Under the auspices of the German Association for International Cooperation (GIZ), Private Sector Development and Vocational Education and Training in the South Caucasus program, Armenia will present 11 wine tourism projects with the support of the Viticulture and Enology Foundation of Armenia.

“This is the first time this innovative competition will be organized. It includes implementation of joint advertising and information campaigns in the target countries. They will contribute to the popularization of the proposed wine tourism projects, competition partners, and the participating countries,” says Hayarpi Shahinyan, expert in innovative enotourism.
