İzmir Vineyard Route

The İzmir Vineyard Route is a rural tourism initiative led by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, connecting 17 vineyards through shared sustainability and local-production criteria. It brings agricultural heritage, indigenous grape varieties, gastronomy and rural communities into a coordinated visitor experience. Linked to Iter Vitis, a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe, it offers a collaborative model for protecting local identity while developing responsible rural tourism.
