The vineyard walk, production facility tour, tastings and meals are included in the package. The programme is designed for executive and leadership teams of 5-25 planning an incentive trip or a leadership gathering. ### What is in the programme? Shaped by the moderating influence of the Sea of Marmara and the slopes of Mount Ganos (Işıklar), Thrace is one of Türkiye's long-established wine-growing regions; vines have been cultivated around Şarköy and Mürefte for centuries. The programme opens with a guided walk through the vineyards, where the effect of vine, soil and climate on the wine, in other words the concept of terroir, is explained on the spot. The group then tours the winery to see how the grapes are processed, the fermentation tanks, the oak barrels and the cellar. At each winery visit, 3-6 wines are assessed with a sommelier by colour, aroma, body and finish. At one of the meals, wine is paired with local cheeses, olive-oil dishes and meat or fish. The programme closes with a short seminar on wine [culture](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/tour-categories/culture-and-city-programmes), grape varieties and regional differences, and participants receive a certificate of attendance. ### Highlights - Structured tasting workshops led by a sommelier or wine educator - Seeing the entire production process on site, from vineyard to cellar - Wine and food pairing at one meal, with all meals included in the package - An overnight stay at a boutique hotel or vineyard house in the package with accommodation ### Who Is It For?

It depends on the winery visited, but a typical workshop covers 5-7 wines: white (for example Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Narince, Emir), rosé, red (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Kalecik Karası, Öküzgözü, Boğazkere) and sweet (Muscat, Late Harvest). The wine educator explains the aroma, body, acidity and finish of each wine. When is the harvest period, and what happens during it? The harvest usually runs from late August to early October. During this period participants pick grapes in the vineyard, try crushing the grapes, taste the fresh must and watch fermentation begin. There is also a conversation with the winemakers about the harvest process. What is the best time of year for the tour? April to October, when the vineyards are green, is ideal. The harvest period (September-October) is the most popular. In the winter months (November-March) the vines are dormant, but wine tastings and winery tours can still take place, and the vineyard landscape is quieter and more peaceful. Is food served during the wine tasting? Yes, most workshops include wine and food pairing. For example, white wine is served with cheese or seafood, red wine with red meat, and sweet wine with chocolate or dried fruit. Wine pairing is also offered at lunch and dinner. Can I buy wine during the tasting? Yes, the wineries visited offer wine for sale at a discount after the tour. Participants can have the wines they like shipped to their homes or take them with them. Is the tour exclusive to corporate groups? Yes, the tour is planned exclusively for companies. Vineyard estates, tasting rooms and guides are arranged according to group size. It can run with a minimum of 5 participants. Can I take part if I know nothing about wine? Absolutely. The tour is suitable for beginners.
