Turkey Hosts Wine Conference

To pay homage to its wine roots and long history of viniculture, Wines of Turkey is hosting the EWBC Digital Wine Communications Conference in the port city old Izmir from Nov. 9 to 11.

The three-day EWBC Digital Wine Communications Conference includes guest speakers, workshops, seminars, tastings, and discussions about wine technology, plus pre- and post-conference tours of many of Turkey's wine destinations along the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts, Cappadocia, and the Marmara region. During the trips, participants can meet the wine producers and sample local vintages and cuisines.

Some 25 wineries will showcase Turkey's regional wines at conference events like the Grand Terroir Experience, where wines from throughout the eastern Mediterranean region will be featured.
