In Genesis, what was the name of the mountain where Noah planted a vineyard after leaving the Ark?

The story behind the answer

In Genesis, no mountain is named as the place where Noah planted a vineyard after leaving the Ark. Genesis 9:20 simply says that Noah began farming and planted a vineyard after the Flood.

The story has already said that the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat, but it does not state that Noah planted the vineyard on a specific named mountain. Connecting the vineyard directly to Mount Ararat adds a detail that the biblical text does not provide.

This distinction illustrates why the ark’s landing place and Noah’s later activity should be kept separate. Genesis names a mountain region for the ark’s resting place, then describes Noah’s agriculture without giving a location. The vineyard episode is followed by Noah drinking wine and becoming uncovered in his tent.
