Discover the rich history and distinctive character of Turkish wines! With a winemaking tradition spanning thousands of years, Turkey offers a unique world of flavors shaped by its diverse climates, landscapes, and indigenous grape varieties. From full-bodied, assertive reds like Eskibağlar Boğazkere to citrusy, floral whites like Emir, Turkish wines showcase an impressive range of flavors. Together, they reflect centuries of craftsmanship and offer a memorable taste of a truly remarkable wine region.
Join wine aficionado Erika Frey and Yalım İşleyici of Datça Vineyard & Winery for an exploration of Turkish wines. Family-owned and deeply rooted in the rich winemaking heritage of Turkey’s Datça Peninsula, the winery offers a unique expression of the region’s terroir, traditions, and passion for winemaking.
Yalım İşleyici has been making wine since 2006, and has written a thesis on Turkish grape varieties and their importance in oenotourism as part of the Weinakademiker program.
