Almaty Wine Route
The Tien Shan foothills near Almaty are home to wild Vitis vinifera sylvestris - the ancestor of every wine grape on Earth. This 'fruit corridor' also gave us apples (the city name means 'Father of Apples'). New boutique wineries are reclaiming this heritage with increasingly impressive results.

Turkestan Wine Route
Turkestan is home to the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a UNESCO World Heritage site and major pilgrimage destination. While wine production here is modest today, archaeological evidence shows viticulture thrived during the Silk Road's golden age. A cultural journey with wine history.
