Goygol

This is where it all started. Back in 1860, when the town of Goygol was a small village of German settlers known as Helenendorf, a certain Christopher Vohrer started a joint stock company to expand his vineyards into a fully-fledged wine industry. Within a generation this had become Azerbaijan’s single biggest producer of wines as well as the first to export Azerbaijani wines to Europe. This region is also well-known for its traditional spirit making.

Renamed Concordia, almost half of all grapes harvested in Azerbaijan were processed here in the 1920s. During the Soviet era the wineries were nationalised, and in the 1940s the region’s German population was deported. But today Goygol Winery still traces its origins to the Vohrer original. The company processes 13 varieties of grapes harvested from over 500 hectares of vineyards and is celebrated for its prize-winning brandies as well as a wine selection of varying levels of quality marketed as Xan, Goygol, Yelenendorf and Karabakh.

Visitors can arrange various tastings at the winery’s impressive cellar but go easy if you choose to do a full tasting of 15 types of wines and brandies! The complex is handily located at the North end of Goygol town and easily accessible by public transport. Various guest packages are available, some including horse riding in the vineyards or wagon rides around the town of Goygol.
