Gastronomic Dinner at Arba Wine: A Perfect Blend of Flavor, Wine, and Summer Atmosphere

On July 26, 2024, the Arba Wine winery, nestled in the picturesque Assy Valley, hosted a refined open-air gastronomic dinner. The evening brought together 36 guests — including representatives of the gastronomic industry, journalists, and fine dining enthusiasts.

Arba Wine is a leading Kazakhstani winery located at the foothills of the Zailiyskiy Alatau Mountains, at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level. Its unique terroir, manual labor, and a blend of traditional and modern winemaking methods allow for the creation of wines that have been recognized at international competitions, including Mundus Vini and Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.

The dinner was held on an elegant outdoor terrace overlooking the vineyards, beautifully decorated to highlight the natural splendor of the region. Guests enjoyed the warm summer evening under the open sky, watching the sunset paint the horizon in golden-pink hues.

The culinary part of the evening was led by Veronika Vishnyakova— a pastry chef with an impressive background. She has created desserts for renowned restaurants in Yekaterinburg such as Engels, Gastroli, Gady, Kraby i Vino, and Soyka. In 2023, Veronika was named Pastry Chef of the Year by the WhereToEat awards. Her internship at a Michelin-starred restaurant in France and her experience under an Indian chef at Novotel enriched her culinary vision.

Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed exquisite dishes perfectly paired with Arba Wine selections. Premium waters Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino, provided for the event, complemented the gastronomic experience and enhanced the delicate flavor notes of each dish.

This evening became a vivid example of the harmonious fusion of nature, gastronomy, and the art of winemaking — leaving unforgettable impressions on all who attended.
