Overview

️ Forget city restaurants and cooking schools. Azerbaijan’s soul lives in its mountain villages, where goats wander cobblestone paths, bread is baked in clay ovens, and hospitality is a way of life. Travel 2.5 hours into the countryside — past hills and ancient forests — to villages that time forgot.

This experience invites you into a real local home where you'll learn to cook traditional dishes from scratch. Your hosts treat you like family: teaching, laughing, cooking, and dining together. You'll prepare classics like dolma, plov, or qutab using recipes handed down through generations.

Then comes the best part — sitting together at the table, sharing stories over tea, tasting food made with your own hands. No rush. No performance. Just authentic connection.. Feel what it's like to be part of an Azerbaijani family, even if just for an afternoon.

Perfect for food lovers, culture seekers,anyone tired of tourist traps. This is the experience you'll talk about for years.
