The Erciş grape, grown in many parts of the Erciş district, has a long history. A cuneiform inscription by Urartu King Sarduri II (BCE 764-735), found on the stones discovered in the Karataşlar Mevkii, states that vineyards were established in Erciş and that those who steal grapes from the vineyards will be punished. Erciş grapes, which have a small grain and a distinctive taste, are harvested from the end of September to the beginning of November.
