Wine tasting events, which are usually preferred by tourists, can also be interesting experiences for honeymooners. While tasting the wines made from the grapes grown in the region, watching the scenery of the region accompanied by delicious meals can prepare you a romantic atmosphere. In order to taste this experience in Cappadocia, where there are many production facilities and small workshops, you can get support from those who know the region or, as we prefer, you can join the Cappadocia wineries tour as one of the activities offered by MDC Hotel. Let’s take a look at the important wine-producing places of the region together.

Cappadocia Wine Manufacturers: Kocabağ Wines

They are wines made from grapes grown in the Yeşilyurt village of Cappadocia. Generally, Emir grapes are preferred. The story begins with Mehmet Erdoğan who started by carving the rock in her own house. The facility they operate today is called KAV. This facility is run by the Erdogan family. The facility has a production capacity of 600 tons in a natural environment. The wines are produced in a chateau-style, which means an integrated production facility.

In other words, the vineyards are around the facility, and the company that produces the grapes and the company that produces the wine are the same. In this way, it is ensured that the company can control all processes that affect quality. Harvested grapes reach Kav and are processed into wine by gravity method without breaking them. You get the taste of labor, care, and thousands of years of production wisdom in these wines, which are still produced in the appropriate temperature and humidity ratio inside rock-carved structures.

Cappadocia Wine Manufacturers: Wine Houses

When we say Cappadocia wineries, in addition to professional production facilities, there are also places that produce individually in their homes. Wineries are places where you can taste the taste of handcrafted wine. Important handmade wine houses in Cappadocia are Mahzen Şarap Evi, Red Wine House, and Asım’ın Yeri. Dozens of wines are produced in these houses, where you can find the most suitable one for your taste.

Turasan Wine Factory

Although the Cappadocia wineries remind of boutique establishments, there are also places that produce in large quantities. Turasan wine factory is one of them. It has been producing wine since 1943 with the grape harvest on 500 decares of land. This factory is one of the places frequented not only by local people or domestic tourists but also by foreign tourists. The wines produced here are also exported. When you come to the Turasan wine factory, you should taste Emir wine, which we have recommended before. Because this wine has an award-winning taste.

Urgup Cappadocia Wine-Harvest Festival

The event begins with a cortege march. Then the festival continues with folk dances and performances. In the following hours, wine tastings begin. It is possible to experience different wines at the Ürgüp Vintage Festival. If you want to experience this experience with the producers in Cappadocia, you will need to plan your trip in mid-September.

In addition, companies will help you to participate in these festivals. I attended such an event through MDC Hotel. Indeed, it is a colorful festival that you will not see anywhere else. It is a unique feeling to watch the sunset with the energy of the festival while tasting wine with your loved ones. It is possible to taste very different and beautiful wines within the scope of this festival.

In Anatolian geography, wines have an important place in thousand years. Cappadocia has known as the most important place for wine producers in Anatolia. Especially Urgup in the first place of the Wine produce region. In Urgup every year they organize the Urgup Wine-Harvest Festival.

Wine History In Cappadocia

First, they started the production of wine in little Asia, Then they started the export the wine to the Assyrian and Sumerians. At this age the wine producer of Anatolia has been called Wiyanawanda means the “Wine Country”

Climate is the most important factor the made perfect wine. In Cappadocia wines are stocked in caves that are covered by soft volcanic rocks. Wine and Cappadocia are compatible with each other. Especially the region’s hosting of Christian and Jewish settlements throughout history has been effective in the development of wine culture in the region.

Especially in the cellars located in the underground cities of Cappadocia, it has been observed that there are areas for wine production. In the underground cities that people built to hide from the enemy during the Middle Ages, wine also took place as a basic need such as food and shelter. However, the people of that period used wine, especially in religious rituals. In addition, when their water ran out, they again resorted to wine to meet their fluid needs and to feel less cold.
