Urla Wine Route
Urla Bağ Yolu
A cluster of wineries in Urla on the eastern side of the peninsula. More than a dozen boutique wineries offer tastings and meals, reviving the Aegean's millennia-old winemaking tradition.
Urla lies about 45 km east of Çeşme. It is an ancient small town between the Çeşme Peninsula and İzmir. Over the past two decades, a group of boutique wineries has emerged here, forming the Urla Wine Route. They grow local grape varieties such as Bornova Misketi and Urla Karası. Most wineries offer tastings, winery restaurants and tours, and some require reservations. The stone-house streets of the old town have art galleries and cafés, and there is a farmers' market on Fridays. It is advisable to travel by car or chartered vehicle, and not to drink and drive.
Opening hours
Winery approx. 11:00–19:00 (some tours by reservation)
