Privacy policyTurkey has a vibrant restaurant and hospitality scene, and Champagne is easiest to find in the country’s larger cities and upscale coastal destinations. Istanbul, Bodrum, Antalya and İzmir are good places to start, with everything from stylish wine bars and hotel lounges to fine-dining restaurants where Champagne fits naturally into a special evening.
Türkiye also has its own growing wine culture, so it’s worth leaving some room for local discoveries. You’ll find wines from regions across the country, including Aegean and Thrace, and a small but developing selection of Turkish sparkling wines.
Türkiye is a particularly fun destination for Champagne and food. Seafood, meze, fresh cheeses and salty appetisers give you plenty of ideas for what to eat with Champagne, while Istanbul’s huge food scene means you can experiment far beyond traditional pairings.
Check the Champagne Hunters map before you go, and if you find a place that’s already listed, comment and share your experience. If you discover somewhere missing, add your find to the map yourself – especially if you find a good Champagne-by-the-glass option.

Try meze, seafood, oysters, fresh cheeses and lighter Turkish appetisers. The combination of salty, fresh and creamy flavours works beautifully with Champagne.
Explore Turkish wines, particularly bottles made from native grape varieties. Turkish rakı is another iconic drink to discover, especially alongside traditional meze.
Explore Istanbul’s historic sights and Bosphorus, Cappadocia, the Aegean coast or the Mediterranean resorts, depending on your route. Türkiye is large enough that every region offers a very different experience.
