Sparkling wine bottling session (Dilijan)

Tavush

This hands-on 90-minute session in Dilijan lets visitors bottle their own sparkling wine, a more involved alternative to a standard tasting. Available year-round from 8,000 AMD, it's a good option for visitors wanting a souvenir they made themselves rather than just a bottle bought off a shelf.

Ijevan Dendropark walk

Tavush

The Ijevan Dendropark is an arboretum of exotic and native tree species, offering a relaxed 90-minute walk suited to visitors interested in trees and landscaping rather than wild hiking. Free and best done April through October, it's a low-key stop for anyone touring Ijevan's town center.

Dilijan National Park's dense forest supports a biodiverse range of woodland birds, and a 2-hour birdwatching walk here is a free way to spot them among the trees. Best done April through June during breeding season, it pairs naturally with the park's other forest-based hiking trails.
