Tour Reviews
One of Volkan’s new tours and we decided to give it a whirl as it seemed to be our sort of low key trip. Volkan’s at 6.30pm to meet up with the group, a nice number of 14, all friendly and as is always with Volkan’s tours, chatty and happy. Lovely trip, brilliant selection of wines, and food. Volkan as always was prolific in his knowledge of the wines available, and the history of Turkish wine-making. Red wine is not our favourite so we stuck to whites and rose, but the others on the tour said it was delicious. Lots of laughter, and nice snuggly blankets offered on the boat since there was a chill in the air. Great for star-gazing.
Finished up at the Jazz Bar with a gang off the boat, dancing and shots, a thoroghly enjoyable experience to be repeated next year!!!
Highly recommended.
Excellent addition to Volkan’s tours. Nice intimate group who socialised well. Volkan’s knowledge of the wines and their inception knows no boundaries. The wine did truly flow as promised in the information and the mezes on offer were plentiful. All in all a very good value for money, chilled out excursion. Can’t wait for the remainder of our trips over the next week.
We met some great people and the after party continued back on shore in the Riverside bar. This trip is highly recommended
Fantastic evening experience with Volkan and his team, really friendly and welcoming. They make you feel really at home. We did the wine tasting boat trip and what a trip it was. Amazing scenery amazing wine and great fun. If you are thinking of booking any trips in Dalyan this is the place you need to go, so many unique experiences we’ve booked the next 3 already!! Thanks for a great night can’t wait to try out the next trips!
Went on Volkan’s Wine Tasting trip – excellent – Volkan took time to explain the origin of all the wines. Able to sample all wines on offer – with plentiful trips to the wine barrels…lol. Definitely recommend as a must do boat trip
Wine tasting evening was excellent. 11 wines sampled, all Turkish and with written info sheet to reinforce the spoken presentation. Highly recommended
Wine tasting on a boat!
Incredible wine tour on a boat! Watching the sun set while swimming in the lake with the bar table floating by us was magical!
Great wine selection with lots of information about the wines and their history.
The home cooked food was amazing, a variety of canapes followed by delicious casseroles, catering for vegan as well as meat dishes.
Incredible setting, Vulcan and the team very knowledgeable and made a great atmosphere – we loved the dancing!
5 stars highly recommend and can’t wait to come again
Wine tasting trip fantastic
What a wonderful experience with some wonderful people.
I booked on the wine tasting river cruise and throughly enjoyed it.
The whole trip was well organised, affordable, and most importantly was a great relaxed vibe with some excellent people.
Honestly, when booking I was expecting some bath-tub wine (it’s unlimited wine) and a general booze cruise rather than a wine tasting. I was (very) pleasantly surprised.
Some excellent wines, with Volkan explaining the cultivation history. Everything was relaxed, you could return to wines you enjoyed and skip wines you don’t. I found the majority of the wines to be excellent, some had surprising depth and flavour comparable to European varieties. There was focus on native grapes which was fantastic, they clearly put a lot of effort into sourcing excellent wine to try.
Additionally, the food cooked by Volkan’s very talented and beautiful wife was an absolute pleasure. You arrive to a mezze spread fit for a king- with fantastic cheeses, meats and some beautiful homemade sauce – they could make a fortune selling some of these on the boat as they were *that* good.
Later you’re treated to more beautiful cooking (rice and stewed meat) – there’s also plenty of time for swimming and a alcohol fueled sing-song and dance on the boat.
It was a fantastic experience, made all the better for sharing it with the wonderful couple that run it.
Everything was relaxed; you want more wine/food.. you have it.. you want more wine history/less? Easy.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour, and can say the wines (and food) are excellent.
