Araz Valley Vineyards: Private Wine & Dried Fruit Tasting

Taste rare Nakhchivan wines and sun-dried fruits at a family estate in the fertile Araz Valley, a region growing grapes since antiquity.

What to expect

You're welcomed onto a vine-shaded terrace overlooking the valley for a guided tasting of the estate's small-batch reds and traditional fruit brandies. The family serves a private lunch of local specialties, including apricot preserves and freshly baked lavash, paired with the wines. Conversation flows through the host's stories of generations farming this land near the Araz River border.
