An absolutely fantastic experience! Far more intimate and culturally informative than any other wine tour I've ever been on. The group was lovely and Nasimi in particular was extremely helpful in every step of the way. So generous with the amount of wine and snacks provided and really insightful walk through the winery itself as well as a great discussion on wine making in Azerbaijan. The highlight of my trip to Baku and highly recommended!!! Loved every bit of it!

Visiting Baku for the first time mainly for the F1. Little did I realize that Azerbaijan has its own wine regions! So my wife and I arranged a nice Saturday trip with Nasimi Wine Tours. Was perfectly organized from the hotel pickup to the actual tour and wine tasting. Highly recommended and will use again!

We had an excellent day with Nasimi. He’s a really nice guy, very accommodating, and knowledgeable about wine. The drive through the countryside was beautiful. We tasted a lot of good wines, had a delicious dinner, and bought some bottles to take home with us. This tour was the highlight of our time in Azerbaijan.

A beautiful surrounding around the world. I'm amaze with every view. Come also and explore more in traveling.

What a fantastic day! It started with a great ride in a clean, comfortable van out of the city with excellent conversation and information from Nasimi. We first stopped by the vineyard, where not only did we walk through the vineyards and try the different grapes, but we also watched harvest picking and met some of the locals working. From there, we went to the plant, where we were able to try all the wines and spirits, even at different stages of fermentation. The wines were delicious, with many unexpected varieties (not just pomegranate), and the spirits were also super tasty. All of this, followed by a wonderful lunch at an overlook before a much-need nap on the way home :) I have travelled quite a bit and have done many wine tours, and this was honestly one of my favorites. The hospitality can't be beat, and there really is so much flexibility to make the tour what you want. We will absolutely arrange more trips of other vineyards in the near future. FYI for COVID - masks were worn and hand sanitizer was always available, as well as bathrooms at each stop to wash your hands.

We have an excellent evening with Nasimi in Baku during our recent trip to Azerbaijan to watch a Wales football match. Nasimi was welcoming and very flexible, and he gave us a fun and informative tour of three local wine bars. The wine was excellent and was accompanied by some delicious snacks. We even returned to one of the wine bars on a separate evening for some more great wine at reasonable prices. If you are a group or family of adults visiting Baku and looking for a refined experience in the company of a local person, then Nasimi's tours are an excellent choice.

What a great afternoon we had... Lots of information provided in a relaxed and fun way. We felt like we were hanging out with our friends, not on a "tour." Entirely enjoyable, I recommend Nasimi completely.

My wife and I did the organic wine tour to the Shamaki Winery. We were lucky enough to enjoy a day out with Nasimi, his wife and gorgeous little daughter. During the trip there, in a comfortable minivan, he provided us with a lot of information on wine making in Azerbaijan. You'll get most of the nuts and bolts of the wine type and style from other reviews on this page so I won't get into it here. Suffice to say that we were given an interesting tour of the Shamaki facility, followed by a tasting in their a wonderful tasting room - among the best I've experienced. Coming from South Africa, I've had a decent amount of experience with this and thoroughly enjoyed it. After the wine tasting we enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant and more wine of course. Nasimi ordered for us, I can't recall the names of the dishes, but they were all delicious. After the meal we relaxed on the patio with some tea. My wife and I travel extensively and always enjoy exploring local wine culture. A wine tour with Nasimi is a must do if you are in Azerbaijan. He was also kind enough to keep in contact with me and gave us recommendations on wine bars to visit in Baku and local wines to try. I wish Nasimi all the best with his endeavours!

I have really enjoyed the tour with all its details.The facility, the team who hosted us and the tasting. What I really enjoyed the most was the company of Mr. Nasimi. A professional tour guide with excellent knowledge about wine and the history of Azerbaijan in general. All the stops we had on our way and the food/tea were amazing. I really recommend this tour with Mr. Nasimi and the driver Mr. Ali.

Nasimi took us on a wonderful tour of the Savalan Winery in Azerbaijan. We were very impressed not only with his wine knowledgeable but also the sophistication of the Savalan winery- a relatively new facility. Because Savalan worked with Italian winemakers to develop their wine, we were very familiar with their varietal wines. They set up a wonderful private tasting in their beautiful tasting room and allowed us to taste a large variety of wines, We purchased two bottles, one a grappa, that we found to be the smoothest grappa we had ever tasted. We are from California, so that says a lot. On the way, we stopped at a lovely lake and were serenaded by an ude player and tasted some delicious paklava. We also stopped for a deliciuos late lunch at a beautiful outdoor restaurant by a river. We highly recommend Nasimi!

This tour brought us to Meysari village, 2 hours driving from Baku with a comfortable mini bus, a good driver and Nasimi as guide. He is a very nice guy, speaking perfectly English, giving all kinds of information about the country, the people and answering all of our questions. We were lucky to arrive at the time of harvesting on this (rather young) winery, the grapes were pressed into large tanks, giving a nice smell, a very interesting experience! After that we visited the vineyard and tasted some grapes, mostly from French origin. Next was the winetasting with very interesting wines in a beautiful wine cellar and we concluded with a nice qutab lunch (local pancakes). The way back to Baku was perfect for a little wine nap. We highly recommand this tour and Nasimi as the perfect guide!

If you’re looking for a wine tour within an hour of Baku, Nasimi’s Wine Tour Baku is the one for you. Nasimi built the perfect itinerary and thought of everything. We were a group of 6. He and a driver picked us up promptly and we were off to Fireland winery. Throughout it all, Nasimi was the perfect host. Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and perfect English. We arrived around 11 am and started with some tea and conversation. Then we toured the vineyards, sampling the delicious grapes that make the wine. It was a beautiful setting and great to learn a bit about the history of the vineyard and winemaking in Azerbaijan. Next we watched as the workers brought in large containers of grapes for processing. I’d never seen this in other wineries in the US before. It was interesting to watch the process. Then it was off to see how wine is made in the traditional clay pots, similar to Georgian winemaking. We even got to smash some of the grapes. All the while we got to sample dozens of wines, starting with white building up to red. Afterwards we made our way inside to taste wine from the barrel. It was so cool to see the barrels in the wine cellar. Finally we concluded our tour with more tastings from already bottled wine paired with cheese, meat, olives, fruit, and bread. Nasimi even provided a cake for a friend whose birthday we were celebrating. It was the perfect trip length (around 5-6 hours, including driving) and the perfect itinerary for a short excursion to sample delicious wine. I look forward to drinking more of the wine that I brought home with me. Highly recommend this tour with Nasimi!

I can’t speak highly enough of Nasimi’s wine tour. It really was the best thing we did in Azerbaijan. Nasimi is a great guy with perfect English who explained everything about everything, not just wine. We thoroughly pestered him with questions about all the interesting things we saw along the way to the vineyard. It was a very long day out - three and a half hours each way - but it was really worth it, as we saw so much beautiful scenery along the way, including a change from desert to mountains and valleys with lush greenery. We stopped for tea at a lake, then had lots of nibbly bits at the winery, along with plenty of wines. On the way back, we had a delicious lunch of traditional Azeri food then later, Nasimi even stopped for corn on the cob at a roadside stall, when we expressed an interest in it. It was a thoroughly excellent tour and if I ever go back to Azerbaijan (which I am hoping to), I will certainly use Nasimi again. As a final note, the wines we bought at the winery were absolutely delicious. All in all, a fabulous day out.

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Qabala wine tour. It was a private tour, so we felt valued as guests and really learnt a lot! Nasimi was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable and personable, it was like being on a day trip with a friend. The Savalan Winery was brilliant and every wine we tried was absolutely divine - we ended up taking several bottles home with us! If you like wine and are visiting Baku, I strongly recommend booking this tour! :)

Amazing experience guided by Nasimi! We learned not only about wine culture but also about Azerbaijan. We did the wine tasting and everything was lovely!!! After that Nasimi arrange food and that was fantastic!!!
