Chabiant Winery
Half hidden among hilltop vineyards in a deeply rural corner of the Ismayilli district, Chabiant’s winery (aka Chateau Monolit) is one of Azerbaijan’s most appealing destinations for wine tourists thanks to a quality guesthouse with an open-air swimming pool, a splendid tasting room, and impressive wine storage caves designed to look centuries old. Over recent years the winemaking here has undergone a major rethink and now aims to “bring new life to local viticulture in Azerbaijan”.
The winery is in the tiny settlement of Hajihatamli, on a small country lane that links Goychay and Ismayilli. Besides great food and wine, tours may also feature live music and other activities. Chabiant also organizes a harvest festival (late August) and a Vino Nuovo celebration (late November) mimicking Beaujolais Nouveau festivities worldwide.
Savalan Wines
In the short decade since its founding in 2007, Savalan has become one of Azerbaijan’s most popular and widely distributed ranges of premium quality wine. The winery conjures up attractive imagery of crystal-clear Caucasian mountain streams watering its sunbathed vines which cover very considerable areas of rolling terroir south of the foothill city of Gabala.
The company’s international winemaking team combines expertise from Italy and Azerbaijan to create a range that includes nearly 20 different wines. The winery offers tours with various options for tastings. On a clear day, there are glorious mountain views from the site that sits on the edge of a plateau 25 kilometers south of Gabala, which is Azerbaijan’s foremost rural resort city.
Az-Granata Winery
In the small town of Agsu, Az-Granata’s giant modern plant processes a wide range of fruits into wines, liqueurs, and juices. The word ‘granat’ from which the winery takes its name means ‘pomegranate’ in Russian (the word is ‘nar’ in Azerbaijani), and indeed a major product here is pomegranate wine, as well as an impressive range of spirits and inexpensive, easy-drinking table wines made from a range of European and Caucasian grape varieties. Tasting a glass of pomegranate wine is a unique experience.
