Armenia: it's not just the ancestral homeland of Cher and the Kardashians!

On the first Saturday of October people of Armenian mountain village they gather for a wine and food festival taking out their wine stored in the cellars. Lots of food and wines. Most of the people you’ll see still speak Russian as a tradition from USSR. So Russian photographer Petr has visited the event and here, we can see how it usually is over there:
