URLA, Turkey
In the west of Turkey, overlooking the Aegean Sea, Urla stretches between sun-drenched vineyards and rolling hills with quiet confidence. Its narrative reaches back to Klazomenai, an ancient settlement famed for early olive oil production and winemaking. Here, generations of labor and tradition have shaped a serene landscape where history, nature, and daily life flow together, offering a profound sense of stillness and calm.
Why URLA?
Urla captures a rare harmony shaped by land and craft; one we are dedicated to sharing with you. Its historic wine route is defined by small, character-driven estates producing award-winning wines from distinct local grapes like Bornova Misket and Urla Karası. The contemporary culinary scene is guided by Michelin-starred chefs and independent growers who celebrate slow-grown, seasonal ingredients rooted in Mediterranean heritage. Together with our neighbours and local partners, we open doors that are usually kept closed, welcoming you to slow down through privately hosted tastings, curated dinners, and personal encounters with the modern makers shaping the region today.
