Wine Tasting in Samarkand — Uzbek Winemaking with a 100+ Year History
About this tour
Discover Uzbekistan’s wine culture during a wine tasting in Samarkand, a city where modern winemaking traditions have developed over more than a century. This gastronomic experience is ideal for travelers who want to explore a different side of Uzbekistan and taste locally produced wines made from grapes grown in the sunny climate of the Samarkand region. During the experience, visit one of Samarkand’s winery tasting rooms and learn about local winemaking traditions, grape varieties, production methods and the development of wine culture in Uzbekistan. Taste a selection of Uzbek wines and discover the characteristics of wines produced in Central Asia and their place in the country’s growing gastronomic culture. The experience is designed for maximum comfort: we pick you up directly from your hotel, take you to the winery tasting room and, after the tasting, drive you back to your hotel or another requested address in Samarkand. You do not need to arrange transportation or find the tasting venue yourself — everything is organized as a convenient private experience.
