Hovhannes Aivazovsky, who was a relative of Tairyan, helped him to build the factory. Yerevan Wine Factory was built in 1938 on the site of the former sardar palace.

With the help of old papers, museum exhibits, family archives, specialists and technologists of the factory assembled and classified the whole invaluable experience, accumulated throughout the period of plant’s functioning, and, consequently, the lost and forgotten glorious name of Armenian Brandy was restored.
