The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Baku hotel at 9:00 and a two-hour drive to Shamakhi. You arrive at Azgranata vineyards at 11:00, then move to the wine plant where you walk through the production facility and taste five to six wines, including the pomegranate wine the vineyard is known for, paired with light snacks. Lunch follows at 14:00 before the return drive to Baku, arriving around 17:00.

Pomegranate wine is not what most travelers expect. It sits between dry and sweet, with a tart edge that cuts through rich food. The tasting happens inside the working plant, so you see the equipment and the process before the wines reach your glass. The guide explains what you're tasting in English or Russian and answers questions about how pomegranate differs from the grape wines most visitors know.

Lunch is included and served after the tastings, so you eat with the wines still fresh on your palate. The full day (drive, vineyard, plant, tastings, meal and return) takes eight hours total, leaving your evening free in Baku.
