diversifying tourism opportunities.
The festival's program includes the production of grapes and

potential, as well as concerts and shows.
Thus, products of local farmers will be showcased as part of the
festival.

Well-known as one of the country's leading agricultural
districts, Shamaxi is also considered the land of viticulture. It
was here that the world-famous Azerbaijani grape varieties were
bred through folk selection.
Azerbaijan's viticultural development is directly associated
with the name of national leader Heydar Aliyev.
Today's viticultural growth in the country is facilitated by the
Grape and Wine Festival in Shamaxi, which has ancient and rich
traditions in the field of viticulture.
