Tour 01 · London → Yerevan

Come for the weekend. Leave softer.

A slow four-day escape through Yerevan, Lake Sevan and the Ararat Valley — food, long tables, blue water and quietly handled logistics. Fly Friday evening, land back Monday night.

4 days · 3 nights Yerevan · Sevan · Ararat Valley Tufenkian + Comuna glamping Group of up to 6 From £790 pp

This trip is for you if…

  • it's your first hello to Armenia and you want food, nature and calm — not a checklist
  • you need a real reset: lake air, fireside evenings, no rushing between monuments
  • you like your travel with a host who handles the details while you eat and breathe
  • you want Yerevan's markets and long tables, then Sevan's stillness, then Ararat on the horizon
  • you fly from London Luton and want every transfer timed to the flight
  • you travel in a small group — maximum six — and prefer it that way

Day by day

Two nights at Tufenkian Historic Yerevan, one at Comuna on Lake Sevan. Every meal is part of the story — not fuel between sights.

Day 1

Arrival, softly

Late-night soft landing at Tufenkian — herbal tea, gata and a welcome that doesn't feel like check-in.

Fri 14:40Depart London Luton (flights booked separately)
22:50Land at Zvartnots — your helloiam.am host meets you in arrivals
23:45Private transfer to Tufenkian Historic Yerevan
00:40Welcome snack in each room — tea, water, gata or baklava, dried fruit
We pre-advise the hotel on late arrival. You sleep in Armenian design, not an airport hotel.
Day 2

Yerevan, plate by plate

GUM market textures, a long table at Lamajo Tun, pink stone and evening light on the city walk.

09:30Breakfast at Tufenkian — slow first morning
10:30Welcome briefing over Armenian coffee with your host
11:30GUM food market — apricots, cheeses, spices and local textures
13:30Free time — coffee, nap or wander. Space to breathe.
16:30Welcome dinner / long table at Lamajo Tun — the first shared Armenian table
20:00Evening city walk: Republic Square → Northern Avenue → Opera → Cascade
Day two is Yerevan at table-height — what Armenians eat, how the city moves after dark.
Day 3

Blue water, stone & stillness

Sevanavank above the lake, Yasaman lunch, Comuna glamping and music by the fire.

09:00Breakfast at the hotel, then private transfer Yerevan → Lake Sevan
12:00Sevanavank with local context — monastery, blue water, high air
13:00Lunch at Yasaman Sevan — lake cuisine and Armenian fish
14:30Check-in at Comuna Sevan glamping — heated pool included
18:00Fireside dinner at Comuna — quiet evening by the lake
19:00Small national music and dance performance by the fire — living culture, not a stage show
The reset moment: water instead of traffic, fire instead of notifications.
Day 4

Ararat, craft & farewell

Khor Virap under the mountain, countryside lunch, a final tasting and care to the airport.

09:00Breakfast at Lake Sevan — slow final morning
10:00Private transfer Comuna → Khor Virap
11:00Short guided visit at Khor Virap — Ararat, stone and silence
12:30Private countryside lunch near Khor Virap — the landscape served at the table
16:00Winery stop, photographs and hosted tasting (non-alcoholic alternative available)
17:00Private routing to Zvartnots — luggage and waiting time included
23:25Depart Yerevan → London Luton, land 01:50 Tuesday
We time the lake-to-airport route so you never watch the clock — only Ararat.

Good to know

Is this really a weekend if it's four days?

We count from your Friday evening flight to Monday night return — back at your desk Tuesday. Four days on the ground, three nights: two in Yerevan, one on the lake.

What's Comuna Sevan like?

Glamping units by the lake with a heated pool — not a resort, a pause. Dinner is fireside; we add a small live music performance so the evening feels lived-in, not staged.

Do you offer a founding-guest price?

Early supporters on selected departures may qualify for £690 per person. Ask when you check dates — standard price is £790.

I don't drink wine. Is the tasting day still for me?

Yes. We arrange a grape-juice or non-alcoholic alternative at the winery stop. The day is Khor Virap, lunch in the valley and the road home — not only the glass.
