The Azerbaijan Tour Guides Association, in collaboration with the Azerbaijan House in Hungary, organized a captivating cultural presentation aimed at promoting the rich natural, historical, and cultural wonders of Azerbaijan to the Hungarian audience. The event, part of an ongoing series, was led by Ms. Török Timea, a distinguished member of the Azerbaijan Tour Guides Association.

The presentation offered a comprehensive overview of Azerbaijan's diverse attractions, with a particular focus on the fascinating architecture of Baku. Attendees were taken on a visual journey through the UNESCO-protected Old Town, exploring the legacy of the oil barons and admiring contemporary landmarks such as the Heydər Aliyev Center and the White City. The blend of historical and modern architectural marvels provided a vivid illustration of Baku’s unique urban landscape.

A key feature of this event was the celebration of Azerbaijani wine culture, showcasing the country’s rich viticultural heritage. Guests had the opportunity to taste a selection of local wines, offered by AzGranata Winery, including indigenous varieties like Bayanshira and Medrese, as well as international favorites such as Saperavi and Sauvignon Blanc. The wine tasting session not only highlighted the quality and diversity of Azerbaijani wines but also served as an immersive cultural experience for the participants.

In addition to the presentation and wine tasting, the event featured vibrant Azerbaijani dance performances, adding a dynamic element to the cultural showcase. Participants were also invited to engage with the presenters, ask questions, and explore opportunities to plan their own trips to Azerbaijan.

This event marks another successful initiative in strengthening cultural ties between Azerbaijan and Hungary, offering Hungarian audiences a deeper appreciation of Azerbaijan’s rich heritage and contemporary offerings.
