Experience Details
"Istanbul: Sips of Europe & Asia" isn’t just a food or drink tour — it's a sensory journey across continents. What sets this experience apart is its seamless blend of culture, taste, and storytelling: we explore not only what locals drink, but why, when, and with whom.
From the spice-scented lanes of the Old City to the lively meyhane culture of the Asian Side, you'll travel like a local, sip like a local, and learn the deep stories behind each flavor — from Ottoman sherbets to Anatolian wines.
This tour is small-group, curated with passion by a local guide, and features hidden gems you won’t find on typical routes — including historic cafés, traditional soup kitchens, family-run meyhanes, and independent craft producers.
We connect continents — and cups — in one unforgettable experience.
