The Melonpan gastronomic ecosystem became a special partner of Yerevan Wine Days 2026 that took place on June 5, 6, and 7 in Yerevan.

As part of the festival, Melonpan presented signature gelato, alcoholic sorbets, specialty coffee, and gastronomic pairings created especially for the summer atmosphere of the Yerevan Wine Days. Festival guests had the opportunity to discover one of the key areas of the brand’s ecosystem: gelato production made using Italian Carpigiani equipment, allowing for an exceptionally smooth texture, rich flavor, and high product quality.

Guests were able to try Melonpan's gelato and specialty coffee at the festival stand, and can continue to enjoy them at the recently opened Blanca by Melonpan restaurant, as well as at Bardo by Melonpan, which is set to open soon.

“For us, it is important to create not simply desserts and drinks, but a complete gastronomic experience where taste, atmosphere, and quality become part of one story,” says Melonpan Brand Chef Arthur Gevorgyan.

“Carpigiani technology allows us to work with gelato texture and flavor on a completely different level. Thanks to this, we can achieve the most natural taste possible, a creamy structure, and consistently high quality,” says Melonpan Brand Chef Diana Grigoryan.

During the festival, guests also enjoyed surprises and participated in a giveaway for a dinner voucher for Blanca by Melonpan and Bardo by Melonpan.

While uniting five areas — restaurants, catering, gelato production, specialty coffee, and pastry, Melonpan creates a modern gastronomic ecosystem of a new generation, where a memorable experience matters as much as refined taste.
