First LAND Escape
Join us for a journey through Urla, shaped by land, craft, and taste
1–5 October 2026
URLA, Turkey
In the west of Turkey, overlooking the Aegean Sea, Urla stretches between sun-drenched vineyards and rolling hills with quiet confidence. Its roots reach back to Klazomenai, an ancient settlement known for early olive oil production, winemaking, and artisanal craftsmanship that continues to shape the region today. The region’s vineyards produce distinctive local wines, while its markets, taverns, and kitchens reflect a rich tradition of flavours and seasonal ingredients.
Generations of land, labor, and tradition have created a place where culture, taste, and daily life come together, offering visitors moments of discovery, connection, and calm.
Why URLA?
Because Urla captures a rare harmony shaped by land and craft, the kind of harmony we are dedicated to bringing to life and sharing with you. Its wine route is defined by small, character-driven wineries producing award-winning wines, where local grapes such as Bornova Misket and Urla Karası are cultivated with care. The food culture is guided by Michelin-starred chefs, growers, and artisans who prioritize slow-grown, seasonal ingredients, drawing from Mediterranean traditions and Turkey’s unique cultural richness at the crossroads of East and West. The landscape offers both stillness and depth, inviting guided tastings, thoughtful meals, encounters with makers, and moments to pause and savor.
