Shirvan Wines

Shirvan Wines (also known as Meysari) is one of Azerbaijan’s newest winemakers and the country’s first to be considered an organic producer by EU certification. Their first 40 hectares of vineyard were only planted in 2014, with the first harvest in 2017. Already the area under vine has grown to some 310 hectares and a museum, restaurant and guesthouse have been built to facilitate wine tours.  Located a short drive west of Shamakhi, Meysari is an easy stop if you’re heading from Baku towards Ismayilli, Gabala, Sheki or Agsu. For now, tours include tasting their three organic wine variants made from a curious mélange of French grape varieties, but the range will expand and change once newly planted vineyards of Caucasian grapes come to maturity.
