00:30Welcome to Ivanovka, home to what was once the last kolkos in the Caucasus.
00:36Now labeled as an agro-park, Ivanovka remains a collective farm,
00:40where farmers share their crops and earnings.
00:42This village has a fascinating history,
00:45and a good place to learn about it is the Molokin Cultural Center.
00:54This 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.
01:09In our museum, there are more than 2,000 exposures,
01:13but it's still more and more.
01:16Every time it was surrounded by our old exposures,
01:21which gives us a look at how our ancestors lived, how they worked,
01:28and in this case, to leave a memory of the history of the village 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,
01:44where young artists from Baku come to create in an idyllic setting.
01:51New residents are settling in,
01:54opening guest houses and cafes for tourists,
01:57like the Ohio Inn and Cafe run by Hassan.
01:59So this is getting popular, this village getting popular.
02:04People come here, they love the quietness of this place.
02:09Nice food, organic foods.
02:12I'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.
02:37He organizes tours and tastings for visitors.
02:39Here are two types of honey.
02:43This is May's honey and the beginning of the summer.
02:47They have different flavors, the smell is different, and the color is different.
02:50Let's do a test.
02:52Yeah, I really like this one.
02:57It tastes different.
03:03Agro-tourism is thriving in the East Miley region.
03:06In September, harvest time, is one of the most exciting times to visit.
03:10I'm getting in on the fun at Shabiyant Winery,
03:12which invites visitors to help with the grape picking and stomping.
03:15It's a convivial moment that brings consumers and producers together.
03:20Now it's my turn.
03:21I've got my basket.
03:22I've got my clippers.
03:23I've got my boots.
03:24Let's pick some grapes.
03:26Shabiyant's grapes benefit from Shirvan Valley's unique microclimate
03:30and the volcanic nature of the soil.
03:32Italian winemaker Marco Cattellani is the mastermind behind Shabiyant's unique philosophy.
03:37La nostra filosofia è quella di portare le nostre conoscenze
03:43e adottarle nel mondo a zero.
03:47Mondo a zero vuol dire tradizioni, vuol dire paesaggi, scoprire persone
03:52che ci possono dare tutti gli spunti possibili per aumentare il potenziale della viticoltura.
04:01Marco gave me a peek at the production process.
04:03The grapes mature in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels,
04:07which give the wines a complex aroma and taste.
04:11I couldn't leave before enjoying the fruits of my labor,
04:14poolside at Shabiyant's guest house.
04:17We have our own grapes, 2,050 hectares and six varieties.
04:22And we want to take off the local varieties such as Bayanshara and Madrasa.
04:26Bayanshara has a lot of the fruity, maracuja, citrus aromas,
04:31and vanilla.
04:31The second one is Madrasa.
04:33This wine is a deep intensity color, deep like a garden, deep ruby.
04:39Local dishes pair perfectly,
04:41highlighting delicious late summer produce from this mountainous region.
04:45There was even cheese made in Ivanovka.
04:47It feels like farm to table is just standard living out here.
04:50And it's been a delicious journey learning how to enjoy the slow life
04:53in Ismaili and Ivanovka.
04:55I made it, I made it, I made it.
04:56I did cream of more事,
