Ijevan  Town  is  in  one  of  the  picturesque  places  of  mountainous Armenia, Tavush Region. Ijevan Winery OJSC is located on the bank of the beautiful river Aghstev. The winery was established in 1976 as a wine material producer for other wineries with a processing capacity of 10.000 tons of grapes per year. It has different facilities for receiving, sorting and cracking grapes, and facilities for wine production, aging, and storage. The winery is located close to white and red grape vineyards.

   The winery was privatized in 1995 but had financial problems at that time. However, the President of the Board Mr. Avetis Galstyan and the owners did not give up and invited 25 specialists to join the company and create a modern winery. The efforts of several years resulted in the production of dry and semidry wine brands and installation of the bottling line.

   Very soon White, Red and Rose Ijevan, Gayane, Nazeli, Haghartsin, Saperavi, Vazashen and Khachkar wines gained high reputation in the local market due to the quality and nice design of the product. In 2000 the winery produced 105.232 and sold 80.998 bottles of wines, leaving the remainder for aging. The wines were exported through EcoWine & Spirit, UniLine, SokoFram, Tavinko and Astroi companies and successfully introduced to the USA, French, and Russian markets. In 2001, Russian Tavinco Company imported 25.000 bottles of different wines and successfully introduced them to the consumers of Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
