00:00In Europe, most of us live in urban areas where life moves fast.

00:08I came here to Ismaili to enjoy a slower pace and some of life's finer things.

00:13Good food and wine, gorgeous nature, and quiet.

00:18Join me on this weekend trip through Azerbaijan's countryside.

00:21We won't get anywhere fast, but I promise you'll enjoy the ride.

00:30Welcome to Ivanovka, home to what was once the last cocos in the Caucasus.

00:36Now labeled as an agro-park, Ivanovka remains a collective farm,

00:40where farmers share their crops and earnings.

00:43This village has a fascinating history,

00:45and a good place to learn about it is the Molokin Cultural Center.

00:55This remarkable collection of personal memorabilia tells the story of the Molokins.

00:59A Russian-Christian minority whose religious views got them banished to the Caucasus.

01:04They founded Ivanovka in 1847, and the community still maintains its strong identity.

01:10In our museum, there are more than 2,000 exhibits.

01:13But still, there are more and more.

01:16Every time, it was surrounded by our old exhibits,

01:21which gives us a look at how our ancestors lived, how they worked,

01:28and in this case, to leave the memory of the village of Ivanovka.

01:33But Ivanovka isn't living in the past.

01:35Its contemporary culture is very much alive,

01:38in this beautiful auditorium that hosts dance troupes and concerts,

01:42and the newly renovated Dimir Art House,

01:45where young artists from Baku come to create in an idyllic setting.

01:52New residents are settling in, opening guest houses and cafes for tourists,

01:57like the Ohio Inn & Cafe run by Hasan.

02:01So this is getting popular, this village getting popular.

02:04People come here, they love the quietness of this place.

02:09Nice food, organic foods.

02:11I've heard a lot about the quality of the local products in this region,

02:16so I'm off to meet a farmer to taste some of Ivanovka's famous honey.

02:22Andrei Antifev is a third-generation beekeeper in Ivanovka.

02:25His honey has won awards at international competitions.

02:28The secret is the wide variety of fragrant plants and flowers that his bees pollinate,

02:33made accessible by these giant, portable beehives.

02:36He organizes tours and tastings for visitors.

02:39Here are two types of honey.

02:42This is May's honey and the beginning of the summer.

02:47The taste is different, the smell is different and the color is different.

02:50Let's do a test.

02:56Yeah, I really like this one. It tastes different.

03:03Agro-tourism is thriving in the East Miley region.

03:06And September, harvest time, is one of the most exciting times to visit.

03:10I'm getting in on the fun at Chabiant Winery,

03:12which invites visitors to help with the grape picking and stomping.

03:16It's a convivial moment that brings consumers and producers together.

03:20Now it's my turn.

03:21I've got my basket, I've got my clippers, I've got my boots.

03:24Let's pick some grapes.

03:26Chabiant's grapes benefit from Chervon Valley's unique microclimate

03:30and the volcanic nature of the soil.

03:32Italian winemaker Marco Catalani is the mastermind behind Chabiant's unique philosophy.

03:37Our philosophy is to bring our knowledge into the world at zero.

03:46The world at zero means traditions,

03:49it means landscapes, discover people,

03:52who can give us all the opportunities

03:55to increase the potential of agriculture.

04:01Marco gave me a peek at the production process.

04:04The grapes mature in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels,

04:07which give the wines a complex aroma and taste.

04:10I couldn't leave before enjoying the fruits of my labor,

04:14poolside at Chabiant's guesthouse.

04:16We have our own grapes,

04:192,050 hectares and six varieties.

04:22And we want to take off the local varieties,

04:24such as Bayan Shara and Madrasa.

04:26Bayan Shara has a lot of the fruity,

04:29maracoya, citrus aromas and vanilla.

04:31The second one is Madrasa.

04:33This wine is a deep intensity color,

04:35deep like a garden, deep ruby.

04:39Local dishes pair perfectly,

04:41highlighting delicious late summer produce

04:43from this mountainous region.

04:45There was even cheese made in Ivanovka.

04:47It feels like farm-to-table

04:48is just standard living out here.

04:50And it's been a delicious journey

04:52learning how to enjoy the slow life

04:53in Ismaili and Ivanovka.
