YEREVAN, June 10. /ARKA/. Yerevan Wine Days, a weekend wine festival, was held in Yerevan for a third year in a row, supported by Acba Bank. The festival welcomed Armenia’s winemakers, sommeliers, and wine connoisseurs in Yerevan’s Saryan street.
The mission of the festival is to present the creativity of Armenian winemakers to the world, as well as to promote exports and present local products at international venues, and develop tourism.
“For the third year now we have been supporting the Yerevan Wine Days event. This festival has turned into a unique holiday for our capital, which also allows us to present our partner, the international payment system Visa. Such events help small and medium-sized manufacturers enter the market and present their products,” Arsen Melkonyan, Deputy General Director for Coordination of Business Functions of Akba Bank, said.
