Top Uzbekistan Food Tours

Begin your journey in the heart of local life at the vibrant Chorsu Bazaar, where colors, aromas, and friendly vendors create an unforgettable first impression of Tashkent. Stroll through bustling stalls piled high with spices, fresh produce, and traditional delicacies as you taste your way through the market—naturally sweet dried fruits, tangy kurut cheese, warm non (Uzbek bread), flaky samsas fresh from the oven, vibrant Korean salads, and other beloved local specialties. Then descend into the spectacular Tashkent Metro, a true underground gallery of mosaics, marble, chandeliers, and Soviet-era artistry. Each station reveals a different chapter of the city’s history and design. This immersive tour perfectly blends food, culture, and architecture—offering a flavorful and visually stunning introduction to Tashkent.

After you’ve seen Samarkand’s beautiful UNESCO-listed heritage sites, learn all about high-quality Uzbekistani wine. Enjoy a two-hour tasting tour of the Khovrenko Winery, where you’ll get to try local wines and cognacs. Tour the Samarkand Museum of Winemaking with your local guide. Travelers who appreciate fine drinks will especially enjoy this tour.

We will show you Tashkent unbeknown to tourists and visitors and cover different parts of the city including two markets: in the traditional old town and the busy city centre, each offering their best-known local street food. As vegans who grew up in this meat-heavy city we were able to pick the best-to-offer spots for local plant-based street food and wanted to share our knowledge with others and tell the story of our city in a personal and unique way. That means we don't want to make it a typical boring tour of eating food from place to place all the time. Instead we will happily customise it on the go with walks, pictures, stories and people. ------------------ Part of the money from the tour goes to support imprisoned vegan activists.
