Authentic Cappadocia Grape Harvest & Pekmez Making Tour – Traditional Turkish Food Experience

(Lucnh Included )

This full-day tour begins with a convenient hotel pickup and a scenic jeep ride to the local vineyards in Cappadocia. Available only during the grape harvesting season from September to mid-October, this unique experience allows you to participate in harvesting fresh grapes alongside local women, immersing yourself in traditional agricultural practices.

Your English-speaking guide will provide detailed explanations and answer any questions about pekmez, its cultural significance, and Cappadocia’s traditions. Lunch will be served with fresh organic produce picked from the garden, offering a delicious taste of local Anatolian flavors. The tour concludes around 16:00 with a transfer back to your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of Cappadocia’s food heritage and warm hospitality. Thank you for choosing TravelShop Booking.
