00:02In 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.
00:42This village has a fascinating history,
00:44and 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.
01:09But Ivanovka isn't living in the past. Its contemporary culture is very much alive.
01:15But Ivanovka isn't living in the past. Its contemporary culture is very much alive.
01:24In this beautiful auditorium that hosts dance troupes and concerts, and the newly renovated Demir Art House,
01:44where young artists from Baku come to create in an idyllic setting.
01:51New residents are settling in, opening guest houses and cafes for tourists,
01:57like the Ohio Inn and Cafe run by Hassan.
02:00So 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.
02:29The 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, 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.
03:03Agrotourism 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 Chabiyant 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, I've got my clippers, I've got my boots.
03:24Let's pick some grapes.
03:26Chabiyant's grapes benefit from Chirvon Valley's unique microclimate
03:30and the volcanic nature of the soil.
03:33Italian winemaker Marco Catalani is the mastermind behind Chabiyant's unique philosophy.
03:37Marco 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 Chabiyant's guest house.
04:16We have our own grapes, 2,050 hectares, and six varieties.
04:22And we want to take off the local varieties, such as Bayan Shara and Madrasa.
04:26Bayan Shara has a lot of the fruity, maracuja, citrus aromas, and 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.
