Our Culinary Journeys
Each experience is a chapter in the story of our land. Under the guidance of Ani, Gayane, or our local masters, you will not just learn a recipe—you will knead, roll, stuff, and savor the very essence of Armenian hospitality.
Lavash
The Bread of Life
Lavash is more than flatbread; it is a sacred symbol of Armenian identity, UNESCO-listed and baked in the heart of the home—the tonir. In this experience, you will feel the warmth of the clay oven, master the rhythm of rolling the dough into thin sheets, and witness its transformation. You will learn why this bread is called the “soul of the table,” and you will taste your own creation, fresh and fragrant. ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Tolma
A Bundle of Heritage
The art of wrapping tolma is a lesson in patience, flavor, and geography. We will prepare the classic grape leaf version, stuffing them with a fragrant mix of meat, rice, and local herbs. You’ll learn the secrets of the perfect balance and the story of how this humble dish traveled through time and became a centerpiece of celebration.
Khorovats (BBQ)
The Flame-Grilled Feast
Armenian hospitality reaches its zenith around the fire. Mastering the khorovats (barbeque) is a rite of passage. We’ll select the finest local meats and vegetables, prepare the marinades that sing of our mountains and herbs, and teach you the patient art of grilling over glowing embers. This is a social, joyful experience that culminates in a shared feast under the open sky.
Kloulik (Kololik)
The Hearty Symphony
Dive into the comforting depths of one of Armenia’s most beloved soups. Kloulik is a hearty melody of grains and vegetables, slow-cooked to perfection. You’ll learn the craft of building layers of flavor and the tradition behind this nourishing dish that has warmed generations.
Gata
The Sweet Seal
From the ancient capital of Ani to our kitchen in Ashnak, gata has been the sweet seal on Armenian tables. We will knead the dough, prepare the unique filling of butter, flour, and sugar (khoriz), and imprint it with traditional patterns. Baking your own gata is a delicious foray into our pastry heritage, perfect with a cup of local coffee or tea.
