Goygol Wine Plant is considered one of the leading enterprises preserving Azerbaijan’s winemaking traditions. Alongside the implementation of modern production approaches, the company places special emphasis on maintaining and further developing product quality. The plant’s products are represented both in the domestic market and abroad.

It should be noted that Goygol Wine Plant OJSC, with a history spanning more than 165 years, is one of the oldest producers of alcoholic beverages in Azerbaijan. Products released under the “Xan 1860” brand, particularly “Karabakh” wines, known for their refined taste and distinctive characteristics, are exported to various countries and have repeatedly received prestigious international awards and certificates.

Expanding the scope of its activities, the enterprise also began producing natural drinking water under the “Göygöl” brand and lemonades in various flavours under the “TUTU” brand in 2026. The new products broaden the company’s portfolio, offering consumers a wider choice of high-quality beverages.
