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 you can enjoy during a tour of Az-Granata which culminates with tastings in a room adorned with barrels and an exhibition of sepia photos illustrating the history of winemaking in Azerbaijan. Tastings might encompass flavoured vodkas and ‘Azerbaijan’s first Raki’.
