📍 Gelibolu
A peninsula by the Dardanelles with small vineyards.
Gelibolu is a peninsula by the Dardanelles in Türkiye, where small vineyards are planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon. It belongs to the Marmara (Çanakkale) wine area and is also one of four sub-zones of Thrace, alongside Kırklareli, Tekirdağ and Şarköy.
Thracian viticulture has ancient roots. Production fell, though, after the population exchange of 1923, so today's small vineyards carry on a very old tradition.
