Khovrenko Wine Museum in Samarkand: the history of taste and traditions
The Dmitry Khovrenko Museum of Winemaking in Samarkand is a place where the history of Uzbekistan's wine—making traditions comes to life. Founded more than a century ago, this winery has become not only a symbol of high quality products, but also a cultural monument. 🍷
The history of the museum begins in 1868, when the Russian merchant Dmitry Khovrenko founded a winery here. Later, in Soviet times, the company became famous far beyond the region due to its unique varieties of wines created on the basis of local grape varieties. Today, the museum tells about the evolution of winemaking and the preservation of traditions carefully passed down from generation to generation. 📜
The museum's exposition includes antique tools for winemaking, rare photographs and documents telling about the development of the industry. Visitors can see how famous wines were created and learn the secrets of production. Of course, the highlight of the visit is the tasting, where guests can taste legendary varieties such as Aliberne or Gulistan. 🏺
We offer convenient services for organizing individual and group tours to the wine museum, as well as transfers from your place of stay in Samarkand. A journey into the world of taste and history will be an unforgettable part of your trip to Uzbekistan.

There was an individual tasting. I really liked the drinks produced by this factory. I bought Evening Samarkand balm with me. In general, I advise everyone to try pomegranate wine very tasty, they do not carry it to us.

That's great! We got to the tasting - 300 thousand soums per person. The sommelier told about the history of the factory, tasted 10 types of wines, cognacs and balsam. All are of local and Uzbek origin!

Food and local drinks are a very important part of getting to know a new country for me. If everything is clear with food in Uzbekistan, then I absolutely did not expect to see such a variety of alcoholic beverages! And cognac in particular! Therefore, having found information on the Internet about the wine museum with the possibility of tasting, I decided to definitely go there!
We didn't book anything in advance, we arrived by taxi and found ourselves in front of closed doors. They called the phone number that was behind the glass and after 10 minutes they came to us and opened the museum. The museum itself is very small and if you are not very interested in the history of winemaking, then it will probably be boring. While we were looking at the exposition, they prepared a tasting for us! For tasting, I offer three white wines (two dry and one semi-dry), 4 red wines (two dry, one semi-sweet and one dessert), two cognacs and a balm. I won't say anything about drinks – it's very, very individual, but from my point of view there is something very worthy. The presenter tells a great story about wines and cognacs, which are served with a perfectly matched set of snacks! The portions of alcohol, in my opinion, are even too large for tasting. You can't buy anything on the spot. They recommend a shop that is located near the museum. Tasting is not cheap by local standards – 250,000 per person. But it's interesting, tasty and informative and the money was spent with pleasure.

A wonderful tasting complex! It tells the story of this museum, the magnificent guide Elena. There is a lot of useful information, colorful description and historical moments!
She also conducts a wine tasting, in which she talks in detail about each in a separate order. The taste of these wines is incomparable! Together with the story, the tasting gives inexpressible emotions!
I highly recommend visiting this tasting complex if you are in Samarkand.

It's a very strange event, for 300,000 soums (about 2,300 rubles), you only get a tasting for 15-20 minutes... I was hoping for at least a mini-tour, at least general facts, not to mention a tour of the production. You can get acquainted with the exposition yourself, and then a brand new and very unconvinced "sommelier", who does not drink alcohol himself, presented wines that can not even be bought later. I do not recommend it, for this money you can eat well in a restaurant with alcohol

The impression of the wine tasting itself is not bad, an interesting story, good wine (we have not tried strong drinks), but still the cost of tasting, given that there is no excursion (only a hall with a photo and a little history) It 's still a bit expensive .

Tasting room at the winery. The museum itself is a small hall with the history of winemaking and the establishment of the plant. The tasting itself costs 200,000 soums per person (5 dry wines, 1 semi-sweet, 1 sweet, 2 cognac and 1 balsa). We liked them.
The only disadvantage is that there is no branded store in the hall. And if you liked something at the tasting and wanted to buy it, then the employees send it to the nearest alcohol store (8 minutes on foot).

A great place, we tried 10 varieties of wines, cognacs and brandy (in total), some liked more, some less, but each has its own, so if you want to try a range of varieties it is very convenient. It was interesting to tell, there is a lot of information, it does not turn into drunkenness.

I had to pass the time before the flight. We sat down at the table and had a tasting. This process went perfectly. However, for $ 20 per person, they could at least take a tour. And so - just a drink in a beautiful interior. I don't recommend it.

The price of tasting per person is 200,000 soums. (you can take one tasting for two people). The event lasts about 50 minutes, during which time you will be told about 7 wines, two cognacs and one balm. Actually, you will taste them. They will tell you about each drink briefly. They give a small plate with cheese, cookies, apricot pits and raisins. They also give you several glasses of water to drink after each glass. In principle, it is quite an interesting event, and the wine is really decent, compared to what is sold in local stores (if you were in Georgia or Italy, then you definitely should not expect a wow effect, and even more so compare these wines). One of the disadvantages is that you can't buy any bottles at all. You can only buy a gift 15-year-old cognac (300,000 soums per bottle), but it is not available at the tasting.

A wonderful guide, Elena, approaches her work with all her heart, subtly describes all tastes. The hall is very beautiful, we learned a lot of new things for ourselves. The only pity is that the samples cannot be purchased immediately, there is no sale. But the reason is good-the school is nearby.

Well, guys ...
I won't talk about the quality of the wine, it's a matter of taste, but in general the organization of all this is very lame.
They just poured 8 glasses of products in the hall and chatted a little about the fact that the sale of vodka and cognac is better. Well, cool...
they have a historic mansion that is more than a century old, they have a winery that can be shown, people are interested. Moreover, after the tasting, they have a buyer - but they do not sell anything themselves and no one knows where to buy the factory's products🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
If the review is read by representatives of the plant, contact me, I will tell you what to improve for free)

From the nose to 250,000. We were given away at 4. It was fun, but in fact it's not worth it. Vivino produces so-so wines on average 2.9 - 3.5 according to what they have tried

A curious tasting. Unexpectedly good - in its class - Uzbek wine. It reminded me of Massandra. Definitely not worse. Perhaps more diverse. A pleasant guide.
The cost per person is about a thousand rubles.
One fat minus. It is impossible to buy almost anything offered at the tasting either in the complex itself or in one of the Samarkand shops. We tried repeatedly))

I really enjoyed the tasting, only 10 drinks: 7 wines, including fortified; 2 cognacs and 1 balsam. The cost is only 200,000 soums, about 2 thousand rubles. The employees know their business very well, they are very polite.
It is definitely recommended to visit, you will not regret it.

10 types - of which 3 are dry, 4 are fortified / dessert, cognac 3 and like 10 years old and balm
In general, it creates the right perception of Uzbek wines. Elena's story is interesting, drinks - well, who likes what, imho - dry - unexpectedly excellent, not bad fortified, better than all sorts of Gelendzhik Smiles, quite close to the level of Massandra (but I'm not a specialist in port wines) . In general, quite adequate quality and quantity for 200,000 (1400 rubles)

Everything is fine, the tasting is wonderful, there are wines that I liked. But what's the point of tasting if you can't buy wine? There are none at the factory, nor in the shops of the city. It's a very strange event.

Tasting every hour, costs 150 thousand soums.
The impressions are purely positive. Elena, who conducts the tasting, knows the topic, answers questions about the factories of Uzbekistan and about technology, is very well prepared.
There are 10 drinks, from light white wine, through dessert and brandy, to balsam.
All drinks are carefully selected, of a really good class (which is generally not typical for Central Asian winemaking)
In general, I recommend it.

I didn't like it very much: they didn't take a look at the museum and exhibits, like look for yourself if necessary. They told everything very dryly and briefly - the strength of the drink, the grape variety. There is no history of winemaking in Uzbekistan, no local peculiarities. Excursions are held every hour, you can get in without an appointment with a group of random people. I was in the company of a Russian couple who had a goal to drink as soon as possible - the pipes were burning :) and a couple of guys from London, to whom I had to translate a lot and translate their questions too, because the guide's English language proficiency is at a very primitive level. I didn't like the wines either, but it's delicious :)

We accidentally went to a tasting with another couple. The guide talked exclusively about drinks, nothing extra. I had to use ticks to extract information and ask questions about the plant, about winemaking in Uzbekistan.
The wine and cognacs are very mediocre, I did not like them. They didn't take a tour of the museum either, after tasting they were escorted out to wander by themselves

Tastings are held every hour. It is better to arrive about 15 minutes in advance. The price of an independent (non-group) visit is 150,000 soums. The taste of drinks is for an amateur. However, it is better to try on your own and form your own opinion than to read someone's reviews on the Internet (everyone has different markers to taste). They do not tell about the history of winemaking in Samarkand, they tell only about tasted drinks (there will be 10 drinks in total: 4 dry wines, 3 sweet ones, 2 cognacs, 1 balm).
