Chabiant Winery, Ismayilli

Half-hidden among hilltop vineyards in a deeply rural corner of Ismayilli district, Chabiant’s winery (aka Chateau Monolit) is one of Azerbaijan’s most appealing destinations for wine tourists thanks to a quality guesthouse with open-air swimming pool as well as a splendid tasting room and impressive wine storage caves designed to look centuries old. Set at an altitude of around 750m, the naturally rain-fed soils of the terroir produce excellent quality grapes that benefit from sun-soaked days but mildly chilly nights. The wine-making here aims to “bring new life to local viticulture in Azerbaijan.” Before you head to Ismayilli, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Ismayilli day trip planning website, to make sure you see all that Ismayilli has to offer, including Chabiant Winery.
