Karas Wines, located in the Arevadasht Community of the Armavir region, stands as a symbol of Armenia's revitalized winemaking industry. Founded by the Eurnekian family, who returned to their Armenian roots after establishing a successful winery in Argentina, Karas Wines combines the country's ancient winemaking traditions with innovative, sustainable practices.
