Yerevan Wine Days Festival 2026

Yerevan Wine Days (YWD26) will celebrate its 10th anniversary on June 5–7, 2026, transforming the center of Armenia's capital into a three-night, pedestrian-only wine and gastronomy festival across Saryan, Moskovyan, and Tumanyan streets. Designed as a walkable city experience, Yerevan Wine Days combines winery discovery, food partnerships, and interactive activations that spotlight Armenia's growing wine sector.What began in 2017 with 25 winemakers on a section of Saryan Street has scaled into one of the region's largest public-facing wine events. Recent editions have welcomed 180,000+ attendees across three days, with approximately 30,000 international visitors, and participation from around 100 Armenian wineries, creating a concentrated platform for brand visibility, consumer engagement, and destination-driven demand.
