Avshar Wine Factory (Armenian: Ավշարի Գինու Գործարան (Avshari Ginu Gortsaran)), is one of the leading producers of alcoholic drinks in Armenia, located in the village of Avshar of Ararat Province. It was founded in 1968 to process the grapes of the fertile villages of Ararat plain, one of Armenia's leading agricultural areas. Armenian traditions and folklore suggest that wine production in the region dates back to Noah planting grapes upon his descent from Mount Ararat in the Book of Genesis. The construction of the factory was launched in 1965 and completed in 1968, through the efforts of Temur Grigoryan. It was operated as a state enterprise wine production unit of the Armenian SSR. At the beginning, the winery was able to process about 500-600 tons of grapes to produce sweet wine. However, the capacity of the Avshar winery was expanded rapidly through Grigoryan's efforts, to reach up to 1,000 tons by the end of 1970. More information...
