Sustainability, family, tradition and expertise come together at Karas Wines, an Armenian winery located under the eternal gaze of Mount Ararat. Our mission is to produce world-class vintages from our own vineyards in Armavir, Armenia.

Karas Wines is well aware of the future and the need for responsible leadership. Thanks to Armavir’s special terroir – favorable volcanic soil accompanied by thermal amplitude – Karas Wines applies a sustainable and organic philosophy in line with Biome practices to ensure that its vineyards are healthy and remain free from chemical additives.
