Çal (Denizli)
Tasting Culinary Stay Tours Indigenous grapes
A boutique winery in the Çal plateau (Denizli), running between two sites — the vineyard house in Hançalar and the main winery & restaurant a few kilometres away in Selcen. The project belongs to Hürriyet Yılmaz, a former doctor returning to her childhood family vineyards; the first vines were planted in Hançalar nearly 20 years ago and the modern winery opened in 2021, with around 200,000 litres of capacity.
The vineyards spread across roughly 30 hectares at 840–880 m, on calcareous Çal-plateau soils — cool northern winds and pronounced day-night temperature swings shape the wines.
Plantings combine the indigenous Anatolian reds Çal Karası, Öküzgözü, Kalecik Karası and Boğazkere with international Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay.
Wine labels include Lykos Valley, Carovino, Rindera, Lermonos Merlot and Alice.
The winery restaurant in Selcen serves seasonal cuisine paired with estate wines; tastings, vineyard tours and gallery visits can be arranged by reservation.
Lermonos Bağ Evi, between the ancient Dionysopolis (Ortaköy) and Hançalar, offers vineyard-view stays bookable via Airbnb.
