Private Urla Wine and Olive Oil Day Tour from Izmir
Urla, on the peninsula west of Izmir, has become the heart of a new Aegean wine and food culture. This private day tour from Izmir brings together the two oldest products of the region, olive oil and wine, with a visit to an olive oil museum, a tasting at a boutique winery and time in the old town of Urla. It is a relaxed Izmir day trip for food lovers, couples and cruise guests looking for something beyond the classic sites.
You travel with your own vehicle, driver and professional English-speaking guide; the winery and timing can be adapted to your taste.
Highlights
- Kostem Olive Oil Museum - historic presses and tools in a restored factory
- Olive oil tasting - learn how to taste and judge extra virgin olive oil
- Urla wine route - vineyards and boutique wineries on the peninsula
- Winery tasting - a guided tasting with a visit to the cellar
- Old Urla - stone houses, galleries and cafes around the Malgaca bazaar
Olive growing on the Urla peninsula goes back to antiquity: the nearby Ionian city of Klazomenai is known for one of the earliest olive oil workshops found in the Aegean. The Kostem museum presents this long tradition through presses, jars and machines used over the centuries.
The Urla wine route connects a group of family-run wineries among the vineyards between Urla and the sea. Several of them work with revived local grapes such as Urla Karasi alongside international varieties, and offer tastings in their cellars and gardens. Old Urla, with its narrow streets and restored houses, is a pleasant place to end the day.
Good to know
- Wine tastings are for guests aged 18 and over.
- Harvest season, September and October, is the most atmospheric time to visit.
- Light clothing and a hat in summer; vineyards have little shade.
- Want the coast too? See our Cesme and Alacati tour with wine tasting.
