In 1877, merchant Nerses Tairyan acquired the above-mentioned area and established a wine factory there. The home-made wine originally consisted of only 1,200 buckets. Later, the plant’s production capacity gradually increased. In 1892, at his invitation, winemaker Mkrtich Musinyants began working at the factory. The company ”Shustov and Sons” have made significant investments in the plant.
In 1920-1991, the Ararat Brandy-Wine-Vodka Factory in Yerevan worked under the guidance of various skilled and experienced brandy makers and winemakers.
