An extremely spicy tour to the “Soul of Pepper” farm
Tours duration: 2 hours
In the Talgar District, just an hour’s drive from Almaty, lies “Soul of Pepper,” an organic farm — a truly unique place where Alexander and Oleg grow the world’s hottest chili varieties using sustainable farming methods: Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Naga Viper, Ghost Pepper, and dozens more. From these fiery peppers, they craft super-hot sauces and signature spice blends.
Guests are invited for a guided farm tour, including pepper and product tastings, and a deep dive into the art of organic cultivation and the craft of creating artisanal hot sauces.
