We host monthly FREE Wine Tasting Events featuring wine made from Native Armenian grapes.

Recently, archeology discovered the oldest cellar in the world dating back to 6,100 years ago. The genetics then showed that the grape grown in Armenia between 4100 and 4000 BC was the same one that is still cultivated today: that grape constitutes the genetic archetype of the pinot noir.

Wines selected for tasting vary month to month, some made and aged with the most recent and innovative techniques, and some using local techniques and materials such as 300-year-old amphorae.

Yerevan an Cafe showcased beautiful selection of artworks by artist Kathryn Z. Kailian in July of 2022.

“The scale, subject and mood are always unexpected. Some days produce an outpouring of my feminist spark or my cultural identity. Inspiration flows with ferocity. My artistic life has had many turns, beginning with advanced studies in Fine Art, teaching children to create and express themselves, raising two wonderful children, a long second career in aesthetics, an unconventional move, and planting new roots in Washington, DC - all of which have led me back to the study of self-expression.”

We hosted an Armenian Coffee (Surj/surch) Making Event in June of 2022.

As with the preparation of Arabic coffee the beans are very finely ground and prepared in a pot, called Jazzve. There are slight variations from culture to culture that true Coffee lovers enjoy to discover.
