Armenia has been famous for its winemaking traditions since ancient times. The oldest winery dating back more than 6000 years was discovered in Armenia in 2011
during excavations in the Areni region. Discoveries by the archeologists prove that Armenia was the birthplace of grape growing and winemaking. The best fields of native grape sorts are located in the Ararat Valley and Vayots Dzor province, which are situated 800-1300 m (2,625-4,265 ft) above sea level, on hilly lands.
