Our Vineyards
Established in 2015 at an altitude of 400 meters on land with a unique geological structure, Ayda Winery & Vineyards is the meeting point of craftsmanship, flavor, harmony, and friendship. Founded with the collective effort of close friends, the estate grows Sauvignon Blanc and Narince for white wines and Cabernet Sauvignon, Foça Karası, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Syrah for reds.
Visitors can explore the vineyard, taste the wines produced on-site, learn about the winemaking process, and enjoy a meal at the winery’s restaurant, where dishes are thoughtfully paired with wines.
Located near the village of Gödence in Seferihisar, the vineyards sit in a steep valley surrounded by high mountains. Planted in a north-south orientation, the vines are spaced 1.5m between rows and 1m between vines. The soil is acidic (pH ~6), composed of sandy, clayey, and rocky textures, with excellent water retention capabilities that allow deep root penetration, providing essential nutrients to the vines.
Located near Gödence village in Seferihisar, İzmir, Ayda Vineyards is situated on a rather sloped terrain, in the middle of a valley surrounded by high mountains. The vineyards are planted on terraces running north to south, with row spacing of 1.5 meters and vine spacing of 1 meter. The soil has an acidic structure, with an average pH of around 6, and its texture consists of sandy, clayey, and stony components. Known as sandstone, this soil contains minerals and, due to its structure, has good water retention capacity. Therefore, this type of soil is highly suitable for roots to grow tens of meters deep and access sufficient nutrients from deeper layers.
