Wine Tasting & Vineyard Walk - Arcadia Vineyards

Discover one of Türkiye’s most distinctive wine regions through a guided vineyard walk and wine tasting at Arcadia Vineyards, located in northeastern Thrace. This experience explores the connection between land, history, and wine in a region once known as a key crossroads of ancient viticulture.

The walk begins among Arcadia’s vineyards, planted after years of scientific research into soil, climate, and topography. Guests learn how terroir, grape selection, and sustainable vineyard practices shape the character of the wines. The route follows the landscape where an ancient Historic Wine Route once carried wines from Thrace to Mediterranean ports.

The experience concludes at the winery with a guided tasting of Arcadia’s unmanipulated terroir wines, offering insight into grape varieties, minimal-intervention production, and the revival of a terroir that had remained dormant for nearly a century.
