Convenient round-trip transfers from your Yerevan accommodation are included.
Manya lives with her husband, Eduard, their son, Vazgen, and her parents, Saharuni and Larisa – who will be part of the experience whenever they are available. In your one-hour, hands-on cooking class join Manya in her kitchen to learn to make traditional Armenian dishes using family recipes.
