Leave your centrally located Istanbul hotel by air-conditioned vehicle and head to Turkey’s beautiful region in the heart of historical Thrace. Enjoy the views of rural Turkey as you travel and hear interesting facts about wine-growing heritage and the Thracian peoples who first planted vines here in the 2nd century AD.
Our first visit will be Chateau Nuzun winery near the village of Cesmeli. Overlooking rolling hills of vineyards, this organic winery ages its wines in French oak barrels. Savor some of its signature wines — cabernet sauvignon, merlot, zinfandel and pinot noir — as your host explains their product and gives you tips on the art of wine tasting.
