OVERVIEW
Savor a tasting of locally produced wines thoughtfully paired with Turkish mezes at an acclaimed winery near the inland community of Camlik. On the drive there, the guide will regale you with stories about the archaeological ruins at Ephesus and the history of Selcuk, two of the area’s more famous ancient sites. Upon arriving at the Yedi Bilgeler Vineyards, you will tour the estate – which is also home to a boutique hotel and restaurant – and learn about the winemaking methods and the unique terroir that is ideal for a wide variety of grapes to flourish. The wines are named for the Seven Sages of Greece that lived in the 6th century B.C. You may sample a Cabernet Franc named for the Bias of Priene, a Solon Malbec and a Chilon Fume Blanc. To complement the wines, an array of mezes such as green olives, cheeses and grissini breadsticks will be served.
