@firuzewine.ucmakdere is hidden among the tiny villages that dot along the bottom of the Marmara’s coastal precipice. Sourcing their grapes from small independent growers in the surrounding villages, this two-family-run winery produced their first wine around 2012. We sat down with them for breakfast and a quick (but wonderful tasting). And after learning much about @isil.bulutsuz trained in Turkey and abroad, talking about the challenges that face Turkey’s at times delicate wine industry - outside the regular hardships of winemaking - Işıl And her father explained their operation simply. They don’t need to compare themselves to other wine producers, rather just do right by the terroir of Uçmakdere. But really (and this they stressed most of all), they want you to enjoy their wines. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you again for a wonderful morning. We certainly hope to see you again in Istanbul!

@arcadiavineyard is working on something big. Bigger than grapes, bigger than wine itself. Years after having established her career, Zeynep hanim felt she needed to do something more sustainable, more meaningful. She wanted to give back. Today Arcadia produces some 11 varietals of wine (most of which no other Turkish winery produces). They produce everything on their beautiful lands, including an edible garden that supplies the hotel @bakuchavineyardhotel . Her operation is thoughtful and slow. Her wines are the delicious end product of good practices. But they are also leading the way to an estate-like operation. Keep an eye out for Arcadia news. Not only are they working with ‘inhabitants’ (renters and farmers living on the estate), but they are also developing into a gastro hub - but more on the food in another post. Thank you again for having us, talking with us, and feeding us! . . . . @parmieuxwineadventures @arcadiavineyard #istanbites #trakya #thrace #trakyabagrotasi @trakyabagrotasi #wine #vineyard #organic #winelover #foodlover #ediblegarden #turkishwine #türkşarapları #winesofturkey #şarap #wineenthusiast #wineeducation #arcadiawines #arcadiavineyards #pinotgris #botrytis #bakucha #turkishwinematters
