   Wine Formula LLC was established in 2018 by a group of young enthusiasts passionate about Armenia’s winemaking and viticulture. Guided by a philosophy of wildlife preservation and social responsibility, we created our first wine brand - HOVAZ, meaning “leopard” in Armenian.

  The name symbolizes the Caucasian leopard, a once-endangered species that recently reappeared in the Khosrov Forest State Reserve after many years of absence - a story that reflects the revival of Armenian winemaking itself.

  In November 2022, we opened Hovaz Wine Rooms in the picturesque mountain town of Dilijan. This cozy wine-tasting space offers visitors a complete wine experience - from discovering Armenia’s indigenous grape varieties to participating in the final steps of sparkling wine production (traditional method). Through guided tastings and immersive activities, guests explore the diversity, history, and modern identity of Armenian wines in an authentic and interactive way.

Keush

Introducing KEUSH, a sparkling wine that embodies resilience and craftsmanship. Nestled in the high-elevation vineyards of Khachik village, our century-old grapes thrive in volcanic and limestone soils. This region stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who cultivate the land. Situated in geopolitically unstable zones, our vineyards go beyond winemaking—they safeguard our borders. The grapes from this unique terroir undergo the méthode traditionnelle, resulting in a sparkling wine that mirrors the dedication and strength of the people and land from which it originates.

Zulal

Meaning "pure" in Armenian, Zulal was founded to push the boundaries of viticultural exploration in Armenia. Through meticulous vineyard selection, we work with the noble Areni and Voskehat grapes that grow in the high-elevation, volcanic soils of Vayots Dzor. On our journey to rediscover rare or almost forgotten indigenous grape varieties, we take pride in having revived seven grape varieties, each with its own unique story to tell.

Oshin

Enter the world of Oshin Wines, a heartfelt tribute to the medieval Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and its visionary ruler, King Oshin. Inspired by his quest for peace and prosperity, Oshin Wines embodies the enduring spirit of the Armenian people. Our winemaking artistry revolves around the Areni and Voskehat grapes, known for their thick skins that have stood resilient against Vayots Dzor's extremes for millennia. Each sip reflects the harmony of tradition and the enduring strength of the land—Oshin, where the legacy of a kingdom lives in every bottle.

Molana

The Molana project is a journey of discovery into the mysterious and undiscovered world of Iranian viticulture and its enological potential. No wine has been made in the past four decades, and no modern-style wine was made previously. Yet, Iran has a millennia-long history of viticulture. Today, Iranian Kurdistan’s Sardasht County is a significant hub of red wine grape production, where Rasheh grapes are harvested from 6,500 hectares of vineyards. It shares, with its immediate neighbor Armenia, the privilege of being one of the birthplaces of viticulture.

Dedicated to showcasing Armenia's indigenous grape varieties, Hekiat proudly stands as the first contemporary winemaking brand crafting Dessert Wine.

Van Ardi is a boutique winery with a goal to create an environment where grape growing, wine tourism, old and new winemaking traditions, and art will find a harmonious juncture in a most favorable terroir of the Armenian lands. It is also the company’s intent to foster a winemaking culture that will become a lifestyle for generations to come.

Work on this project began in 2005. After scrupulous analytics of the land and terrain, the vineyard was established and planted with the Areni, Kakhet, Syrah, Haghtanak and Kangun varietals. The vineyard is located in Ashtarak, a region that boasts thousands of years of winemaking history, at 1000m above sea-level, and is endowed with volcanic rocks and soil that is rich with minerals. The vineyard is positioned on hills with south and south-west facing slopes.

Van Ardi issued its first generation of wines, the 2013 vintage, from its estate winery in the fall of that year. These wines have already been successfully accepted by both local and international markets. From cultivation to bottling, the company commits itself to careful winemaking practices in order to obtain exceptionally high-quality wines

Voskeni wines is a family owned vineyard and wine making company located in Sardarapat, Ararat valley. The whole vision of Voskeni Wines revolves around the prominent story of Smbat Matevossian.

However, history played against him and Bolshevik authorities took away his possessions and later his life.
     However, against all odds, almost 100 years later his descendants returned to Armenia from Russia, bought back the vineyards and began producing high-quality wines.
     Thanks to hard work and devotion of Smbat Matevossian’s family, Voskeni Wines now offers exceptional wines, picturesque vineyards, cozy home-restaurant, terrace with a stunning view to Mount Ararat and a family always ready to welcome you.
