‘Challenging MasterClasses’ on wine tasting in Istanbul

ISTANBUL

“Challenging MasterClasses,” an annual Turkish wine tasting event organized by Gustobar, will be offered on April 7-8 at The Marmara Taksim Hotel. 

The aim of the event is to act as a leverage to wine culture and the development of the wine industry in Turkey by bringing together several producers and connoisseurs over a weekend of wine tasting.

This year, the two judges of the event will be renowned British wine critic and writer Oz Clarke and Swedish wine expert Madeleine Stenwreth MW. They will be rating 137 Turkish labels from 35 producers.

In parallel to MasterClasses, there will be also “Walk Around Tasting,” where wines will be presented in order of their body and grape variety, plus free workshops. Each visitor will be provided with a free wine almanac on the wines that will be tasted.
