The winepress is located in the Northern part of the Dalma Garden in the northwest of the boundary line of “Yerevan Park” amusement center.

Persian sardar of Yerevan (1807-1828), when the Dalma canal was reopened, new
gardens were established, viticulture and winemaking gained new momentum, many
wineries and cellars were built.
The structure has an east-west rectangular plan, with dimensions
measuring 8.70 x 5.60 meters. The western walls have been partially preserved.
The entrance, not highlighted, was probably from the south. The roof is broken,
most likely it was vaulted. The building is filled with rubble and no grape
pressing basin or other details are visible.
Constructed from raw basalt, the building retains mounded
vineyards on its Northern side.
