Local vintages make touring the multicultural country a tasty experience
China DailyAzerbaijan is a multicultural country with passionate Caucasian spirit, and is one of the cradles of the world's viticulture. In Meysari Village of Shamakhi Town, a two-hour drive away from Baku, a government-supported vineyard produces fine local white and red wines, attracting thousands of foreign tourists every year during its wine carnival. In the grape farm of Shamakhi, grapes are harvested in natural conditions and hand-picked, said Dilbar Mammadova, a 22-year-old girl who works in a winemaking complex Shirvan Wines LLC in Meysari Village. With the support of the Azerbaijan Agriculture Ministry, the Meysari Village held the first Grape and Wine Festival last August, aiming to promote local production of grapes and wine, increase the export potential of wine, and highlight the history of winemaking in the country. It's highly recommended that foreign visitors participate in the annual wine festival or make a cruse in Shamakhi grape farm, which would make the trip in Azerbaijan tastier.
