History & Wine: 2-day experience

Overview

2-day guided tour istanbul

Turkish wines are entangled in the country’s history. Historians agree that the roots for the winemaking traditions worldwide come from Anatolia and exactly from there spread across continents. While Turkish wine is produced all around the country, the best place to taste it is Istanbul where local wine restaurants compete for the most exclusive wine menus. In this two-day experience, you will visit the must-sees of Istanbul’s historical monuments and explore the country’s wine culture during two tastings.

On the first day

we will take you on a half-day tour through the historical peninsula where you will visit the iconic Sulemanye mosque, the buzzy and famous Grand Bazaar, and the historic center from which you can see Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi palace. Now let’s explore the first Turkish wines. The first tasting invites you on a journey through the Spice Road and explains how with a help of spices one can reveal hidden notes in different wines.

On the second day

you will explore the historic and buzzy Taksim area and from here visit 3 different wine restaurants with a sommelier and try quality wines coming from across the country.
