- Vanatun monastery stay - Taste the natural bounties of the Tavush region, from juicy berries to zesty greens to wild mushrooms, on a Dilijan Woodland Feast, a 3 course Wild Food Adventure set in the mountains of Dilijan National Park. Starting from our guest house near Haghartsin Monastery, we’ll go off-roading to our wild dining location, set in the thick forests of the park and with stunning views of the sheer rock cliffs of the Ijevan Mountains.
Your dining experience will begin with welcome cocktails made from local honey wine and wild edible herbs, followed by 3 carefully created courses based on the culinary traditions of Tavush, which we will prepare right there in the forest using local, seasonal ingredients. While you dine and soak in the fresh mountain air, we’ll share stories behind each dish, including where they come from and what they mean for the local people of Tavush. You’ll go home with both a full tummy and heart.
