The peninsula's youngest serious estate, Chilean winemaking lineage, pre-phylloxera Carignan, panoramic terrace kitchen
A late-arriving estate with the most accomplished vineyard kitchen on the Urla route, wood oven, Aegean-Italian menu
Sevinç and Erol Çakır, both lawyers, bought the property in 1999 and only opened to visitors in 2020, by which point the thirty-year-old vineyard and stone winery had been quietly perfected. Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Bornova Misketi and Chardonnay sit alongside Pinot Noir trucked in from cooler Seferihisar. The restaurant is the differentiator: a wood-fired oven, a seasonal Aegean-Italian menu built around octopus, asparagus, olives, and four guest rooms above for those who plan poorly. Production is small, 25,000 litres, and sold direct.
The six-glass tasting set is the right opener; then move to the terrace for the wood-fired pide and whatever's coming out of the garden that week. Reserve, closed Tuesdays without exception.
