Join us at our cozy bed and breakfast located in Alaverdi, Lori Province, to make and enjoy “ghapama,” the ultimate Armenian dessert. “Ghapama” is a sweet pumpkin dish that’s stuffed with rice, nuts, dried fruit, spices, and honey before being baked in an oven to golden perfection. It’s an authentic local dish that’s so popular that there’s even a favorite pop song all about it! During your experience, you’ll learn about the dish and its significance within Armenian cuisine, before you roll up our sleeves and start baking together with your host. You’ll make the entire dish from scratch, emptying the pumpkin, preparing all the fillings individually, stuffing the pumpkin, and baking it before eating your creation. You’ll also prepare some side dishes to go along with your pumpkin dish. All this will take place at our warm bed and breakfast located in the Debed Canyon in Alaverdi, Lori Province, surrounded by green forests and the canyon cliffs above.
