She studied art history in Florence, Italy, then went on to study for her bachelor’s degree at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2009, she repatriated to Armenia with her two sons to partake in her father’s vision and venture which involved developments in the agricultural, wine & brandy, and tourism sectors.

Victoria received the Best Brand by a Woman Entrepreneur award from the prime minister of Armenia in 2014, and has parlayed the international success of their brand as a platform to promote The Renaissance of Armenian Wine, presenting Armenia’s revived wine legacy at The Council of Europe in Strasbourg; at The Davos du’Vin, Italy; at AGBU‘s 88th General Assembly; as a guest lecturer at AUA; at The Asian Wine and Spirits Conference in Beijing; at Mundus Vini in Germany; as well as at wine and tourism promotional events in Los Angeles, Berlin, Brussels, Montreal, and Friuli.
