450,000 per person (≈$40). It’s at the Bagizagan hotel, 43A Abu Rayhan Beruni Street. There’s a wine cellar there. We had dinner at the restaurant and arranged the tasting on the spot; there were two of us, we had a great time.

We went to a wine tasting at the Bagizagan winery in Samarkand — I recommend it, especially on a rainy day, though of course you wouldn’t go there with kids)) Someone wrote that it takes an hour or less — we spent 3 hours there)) it was very interesting, cozy, the sommelier told us a lot and answered all our questions, we tasted a lot.

@galina_msk We arranged it with the driver in advance. $40 USD both way. He waited there for 1.5 hours.

Good evening, everyone. If anyone is interested — today we visited the Bagizagan Winery not far from Samarkand. The tasting was excellent. We liked everything. I recommend it to those who enjoy this kind of experience.

At the tasting we tried Chardonnay, Riesling, Shiraz, and something else as well. There was also cognac and chacha. Everything was good. We bought some of their products — Chardonnay and another wine, I don’t remember exactly which one. I don’t remember the price either. With their money it’s hard to keep track. But the price seemed reasonable — I think somewhere around $8–$10.

As an alternative — the Shohrud winery in Bukhara. It’s older than Bazizagan, and tastings there are cheaper — 300,000 soum. I booked it without any problems (they have their own website). The winery is the oldest one, but they only have three types of wine — pomegranate, Cahors, and dry Saperavi. Not exactly a huge selection. Well, there are cognacs too. But I’m not insisting ))) Everyone chooses for themselves. We’ll have more free time in Bukhara, so we decided to go. Although we’ve also been to Georgia, and in Armenia at “Ararat,” and in Derbent at DZIV )))

It’s not that I’m a hardcore alcoholic — more like a beginner 😂. But wine and cognac factory tours are truly my weakness. I’m even a bit afraid of being disappointed after the wonderful wineries of Georgia and the шикарная tour at the Noy cognac factory in Yerevan (by the way, their prices are half of what Bazizagan charges).

There are two chain stores with a good selection of both wine and beer — Lavini and Legion. And in general, you can try and taste local wines in Tashkent at the Wine Time bar (you can buy them there as well, or note the brands and then find them in the nearest liquor store).
