Wine trails

8 stops · 1-2 weeks Eastern Anatolia Wine Route Eastern Anatolia is where Turkey's most characterful indigenous grapes originate. Öküzgözü ('ox eye') and Boğazkere ('throat grabber') produce powerful, tannic reds that have been grown here since antiquity. This is Turkey's least-visited but most authentic wine region.
