The program is held in two parts. In the first part, six wines chosen by the producer are paired with six selections from WAYANA\u2019s tapas portfolio. If no suitable match exists, we create a brand-new tapas from scratch. This section is guided: both the wines and their stories are shared.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the second part, we showcase 6 to 8 additional wines from the producer\u2014those not featured in the first part\u2014in an open tasting format. This also gives participants the chance to have personal conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The event is designed to lay the foundation for a strong bond between wine lovers and producers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>

Elmal\u0131 Teruar\u0131 ve Unutulmaz Bir Tad\u0131m Hik\u00e2yesi<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the date drew near, we called Burak \u00d6zkan and told him that since it was harvest season, we would understand if he couldn\u2019t attend. Yet in the middle of that intense period, he came all the way from Antalya to join us for both sessions of the tasting. This gesture meant a lot to us, and once again we are deeply grateful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We opened the event with an introduction, then passed the stage to Burak. He spoke at length about the philosophy behind his relationship with grapes, the founding of Likya Wines, their journey with forgotten grape varieties, and the challenges and milestones along the way. Summarizing his insights for you feels like a responsibility we owe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Likya Wines<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Burak \u00d6zkan made a conscious choice to become a wine producer. There was no family tradition of viticulture before him. Growing up in Antalya, he sensed that the region\u2019s rise as a tourism hub created an opportunity for a wine brand that could become part of the city\u2019s gastronomy.\nHistorically, viticulture did exist here, but during the Republican era, Elmal\u0131\u2014at 1100 meters above sea level\u2014was not considered suitable for vineyards. Burak chose not to be swayed by such claims. In the 1990s, vineyard investments began, and because French grapes were in demand at that time, the first plantings included these varieties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Her i\u015fletmenin elbette bir yapana ve bir satana ihtiyac\u0131 var. D\u00fcnyan\u0131n en iyi \u015farab\u0131n\u0131 \u00fcretmek, bunun kendili\u011finden sat\u0131laca\u011f\u0131 anlam\u0131na gelmiyor. (Bunu h\u00e2l\u00e2 kabul etmeyen binlerce \u00fcretici olmas\u0131 da ba\u015fka bir yaz\u0131n\u0131n konusu olmal\u0131.) Likya\u2019n\u0131n en \u00f6nemli avantajlar\u0131ndan birisi, \u00fcretime odaklanan Burak \u00d6zkan\u2019\u0131n pazarlamaya ve sat\u0131\u015fa odaklanan Doruk \u00d6zkan\u2019\u0131n kat\u0131lmas\u0131 olmu\u015f.

Rediscovering Forgotten Grapes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Burak tells of a pivotal moment when a local shepherd, known as \u201cRamazan Abi,\u201d introduced him to the Ac\u0131kara vine just two kilometers from Likya. Cuttings were taken, nurtured like infants, and multiplied\u2014launching a struggle that would last years.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Yeni bir asman\u0131n r\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcn\u00fc ispat etmesi i\u00e7in ihtiya\u00e7 duyulan s\u00fcre yakla\u015f\u0131k on y\u0131l. Bu s\u00fcrenin sonunda elde edece\u011finiz \u00fcz\u00fcm\u00fcn \u015faraba elveri\u015fli olup olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131 da asl\u0131nda bir bilinmez. Nitekim Likya\u2019n\u0131n hayata d\u00f6nd\u00fcrd\u00fc\u011f\u00fc \u00fcz\u00fcmlerden baz\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131n sofral\u0131k karakterde oldu\u011fu ortaya \u00e7\u0131km\u0131\u015f. Evet, yine bir \u00fcz\u00fcm kazand\u0131r\u0131lm\u0131\u015f, ama bunun i\u00e7in harcanan emek ticari de\u011fer olarak geri d\u00f6nmemi\u015f. Ama bu da oyunun bir par\u00e7as\u0131.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Burak calls his quest for grapes \u201cgoing hunting.\u201d He describes it this way:\n\u201cI don\u2019t actually believe in coincidence. When I leave home, I tell my wife, \u2018I\u2019m going hunting.\u2019 Village elders, headmen, shepherds\u2014they\u2019re my most important guides. Just as I move in search of grapes, I believe the grape too strives to reveal itself to me. It\u2019s a meeting both sides desire.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cBen asl\u0131nda tesad\u00fcfe inanm\u0131yorum. Evden \u00e7\u0131karken e\u015fime \u2018Ben ava \u00e7\u0131k\u0131yorum\u2019 deyip yola koyuluyorum. Muhtarlar, k\u00f6y\u00fcn ya\u015fl\u0131lar\u0131, \u00e7obanlar en \u00f6nemli rehberlerim. Nas\u0131l ben \u00fcz\u00fcm\u00fc bulmak i\u00e7in hareket ediyorsam, bence \u00fcz\u00fcm de varl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 s\u00fcrd\u00fcrmek i\u00e7in, kendisini bana g\u00f6stermek i\u00e7in gayret ediyor. Bizimki iki taraf\u0131n da arzulad\u0131\u011f\u0131 bir bulu\u015fma.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Has Burak finished his work now that he has revived so many grapes? (By the way, he\u2019s close to twenty varieties already.) Of course not. The grape-hunting virus is in his blood, and he believes this is his path to immortality.\nWho could possibly stop him?<\/p>\r\n
