October 11\u201313, 2024 \/ Denizli – \u00c7al Vineyard Route<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Gastronomic Society of T\u00fcrkiye\u00a0continued its journey of discovering and supporting the rich gastronomic heritage of our country with a visit to Denizli. For years, the Society has organized vineyard routes and winery tours under the concept of \u201coenotourism,\u201d emphasizing the importance of connecting with local wine producers, a key element of gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, members visited Denizli, which holds a special place in Turkish winemaking and contributes nearly 40% of the country\u2019s wine production. The region is a viticulture hub, home to the \u00c7al Karas\u0131 grape and the vast vineyard-covered G\u00fcney Plateau, where grapes for winemaking are cultivated for numerous producers. During the visit, four wineries were explored, providing insights into production processes alongside wine tastings enriched with the latest knowledge about winemaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour began with a visit to\u00a0Pamukkale Winery, one of the region\u2019s leading and long-established producers, and continued with stops at\u00a0Kuzuba\u011f,\u00a0Lermonos, and\u00a0K\u00fcp Winery\u00a0in \u00c7al.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey also included visits to the ancient cities of\u00a0Nyssa\u00a0and\u00a0Sardes, believed to be the birthplace of Dionysus, the god of wine in ancient mythology. These tours were brought to life with informative storytelling from our dear member,\u00a0Nedim Atilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the vineyard tours and tastings, members also savored the region\u2019s unique flavors. Highlights included the savory and sweet pide varieties\u2014minced meat, ground beef, clotted cream with cheese, and tahini\u2014from\u00a0K\u0131smet Pide\u00a0in Nazilli; the famous\u00a0Denizli tand\u0131r\u00a0made with yearling lamb at\u00a0Kocabaylar\u00a0in Denizli\u2019s city center; and wood-fired meatballs at\u00a0Azaklar, a 113-year-old establishment in Salihli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
