Terrific tour of Azerbaijan wine culture
karishmasundaram,Mar 10, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It was news to me that Azerbaijan had wine culture. So when I discovered that during travel research, I hunted for a wine tour in Baku. And hooboy, did we luck out! Riad reached out to me to organise our meet up, and waited patiently while we navigated through Baku traffic. (Thankfully, we were on time.) We were met by a small team, and were surprised to see we were the only 2 people in the group. This was a tragedy for the guides, as they had to listen to us talk the whole time, as we got progressively drunker. Riad chose 6 wines of different types. There was a mix of reds, whites, and rosés. He also introduced us to speciality fruit wines as well, one of which has become my all-time favourite. (I was gutted that I couldn't find a bottle at the airport to take home, but have since consoled myself that this is an excellent reason to revisit Baku.) We visited two wine bars, which were atmospheric and charming. Again, the poor guides had to deal with our stories, and my rapidly deteriorating state. I am not much of a drinker, so 6 full glasses of wine had me under the table pretty quickly. However, that is entirely on me, and I would like to point out that the pours were generous. We were also given amazing snacks, but the wine is genuinely the highlight. While I was still sober, Riad told us much about the history and geography of wine in Azerbaijan. I'm not going to give out any more details, because you must take this tour to savour those in full. The experience is 100% worth it.
It’s like catching up with a friend

5.00It’s not that easy to meet someone for the first time yet it feels so welcoming and real. In addition to that, I very much appreciate the extra effort Ali has put to make sure I don’t miss my tour due to the parade happening on the same day. I couldn’t have enjoyed my tour more, also worth mentioning that Ali was excellent in English and made the tour extra memorable, the selection of the wine was excellent as well. Thank you again
Great company and excellent wine

5.00Great way to spend a last evening in Baku! I sampled 5 wines (pomegranate, quince, red, white, rose) accompanied by a delicious cheese and meat platter. The wine bar was very mellow and relaxing with a great vibe and it was nice to chat to Riad, the guide.
Great introduction to Azerbaijani wine!

5.00I had a great experience on this tour with my guide Ali! I had never tried Azerbaijani wine before, and Ali/the host restaurants provided great information on everything we tried. There was a generous amount of both wine and snacks, so I left full and content. I'd recommend this tour, and would especially ask for Ali if you can!
Wonderful evening of wine

5.00We had an absolutely brilliant evening on this wine tour. We tried at least 7 different Azerbaijani wines, from sweet to dry accompanied by a lovely platter of meats, cheeses and fruit. We had our wine tour on a Monday evening (7-10pm) and the bar we were in had a very nice atmosphere, not too loud and not too quiet! The staff were very attentive with their wine pouring as well as topping up our waters too and asking what our favourites were to tailor the experience. Riad was great company too; it was like spending your evening with an old friend. We enjoyed the football chat...in particular Liverpool! I'd say this tour is great value for money and I'd recommend if you're in Baku!
Lovely afternoon

5.00A wonderful afternoon spent trying a number of different wines (I lost count, but I think at least 8) in lovely settings. Ali, our guide, explained the differences in growers and bottling of each wine. I really enjoyed it.
Cute wine stops and great tasting.

5.00Loved this tour. We didn’t know much about Azerbaijani Wine and Ali was able to introduce us to a few that we would have never tried on our own. Ali took us to two cute wine bars and he was also helpful in getting us to know more about Azerbaijani food and wine culture.
