Taste in the Dark: Turkish Wines

Join a certified sommelier for an exclusive Turkish wine journey, starting with a casual walk from Taksim Square. Along the way, you’ll hear fascinating stories of Istanbul’s food and drink culture and how it’s woven into the fabric of local life.

Once we reach our tasting spot, our sommelier will dive into the essentials of wine appreciation—from aroma and flavor notes to grape varieties, fermentation, and the distinct characteristics of Turkish wines. Then, get ready for the main event: a blind tasting of six different wines! With eyes closed, you’ll rely on your senses and the sommelier’s expert guidance to uncover each wine’s personality.

If you’re ready to put your senses to the test and dive into the world of Turkish wines, this unforgettable experience is perfect for you.
