Ancient Vibes & Wine Caves

#summervacay Dropped by Areni-1 Cave in Vayots Dzor Province, Armenia, and let me tell you, this place is way more exciting than it sounds. From the outside, it looks like just a dusty old cave in the hills near Areni village. But inside? Literal ancient history hiding in plain sight. They found the oldest known winery here, like 6,000 years old! You walk around and see ancient clay pots, wine making tools, and even a preserved shoe that’s older than the pyramids. It’s kinda mind-blowing how well this stuff held up. The guide was super chill and threw in cool facts without sounding like a textbook. Also, bonus, right outside the cave are epic views of the canyon, and of course, you’re in wine country. So you have to stop by a nearby winery after. It’s basically a rule. Areni-1 isn’t flashy, but it’s got that deep, ancient energy that sticks with you. History, nature, and wine? Solid combo.
