Samarkand is not only tile and turquoise. The surrounding valleys produce wines that surprise first-time visitors — this route pairs tastings with monument visits at the right hours.
Schedule Registan for morning light, winery visits after lunch when cellars are ready, and leave Shah-i-Zinda for late afternoon. Drivers or guides handle the short hops between valley and city.
