Bozcaada’s 3000-Year-Old Viticulture Heritage
Bozcaada, a stunning island in the Aegean Sea, is a national treasure and home to a 3,000-year-old heritage of viticulture. With its warm climate and northern winds, it is the perfect place for viticulture to thrive.
Kuntra and Karalahna grapes are used for red wine, Çavuş and Vasilaki grapes for white wine. Visitors will love the taste of these local wines and enjoy the history, scenery and local cuisine while exploring the picturesque Bozcaada Route.
Bozcaada is the third largest Turkish island and is home to six viticulture sites, so there is a lot of variety to explore and savour. Bozcaada also hosts a four-day harvest festival that is organised every September. With live music, lovely market stalls selling handmade gifts and souvenirs, art exhibitions, panels, and theatre performances, the festival is an all-in-one experience that shouldn’t be missed.
