Surprisingly, Turkey is the world's fourth-leading producer of grapes, and historians believe that viticulture actually originated in this part of the world. Spend a half-day exploring the beauty of Kusadasi's countryside on a visit to the Seven Sages Vineyard for a tour and tasting. Board your comfortable motorcoach for a panoramic drive to a wonderful stone chateau that offers state-of-the-art winemaking facilities in a lush, lavender-scented setting. Tour the winery cellar where the French oak barrels are stored and learn the process from field to glass before sampling some of the locally produced wines, accompanied by an assortment of Turkish cheeses. Take some free time to explore and photograph this exceptional property before your next stop, the Handicraft Village. Here, you'll attend a carpet-weaving demonstration and learn about the age-old Turkish tapestry tradition. Return to port after this delightful day.
