Wine experience was 10/10. - The host was really friendly and not only did he explain how different types of wine are created, but he did it with so much passion! I admire that. We learned a lot, different types of grapes, the meaning of the wine color, what to pair which wine to what type of food and also why, and so on.. The wines were quite diverse, from white, red, rose Cappadocia wines to fruit wines to sweet wines, the list goes on and on. Definitely recommend for anyone to come here!

Educational and delicious! - Our wine tasting experience was so interesting and enjoyable! Erdi gave us a really valuable lesson in Turkish wine and the culture that created it over the previous generations as. We tasted 20 wines from Turkey, and learnt so much whilst having a wonderful time tasting them. Highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants to learn not just about wine, but about the Turkish winemaking methods and culture.

A must if you like good quality wine. - This is one the most fulfilling and exciting experience had during our stay in Cappadoccia precisely in Avanos where we had a georgous wine tasting experience that would remain with us for a long time. The host (Erid) was very knowledgeable, approachable and professional. We tasted over 16 different types of wine in small quantities with full explanation of each type of wine from white to blush to rosseo to red and full bodied red. He did explained origin, process and storage of each type of wine and what to be looking for from a bottle of wine. Attending this wine tasting has certainly increased our knowledge to knowing how to choose a good wine when the occasion arises. Thank you Erid!

Amazing experience - The wine tasting was fantastic! It was a truly enjoyable experience, and we got to discover a wonderful variety of wines. The fruit wine, in particular, was absolutely perfect – full of flavor and beautifully balanced. We had a great time and would highly recommend it to any wine lover!

Unforgettable journey - We had an unforgettable wine tasting experience with a group of friends. We sampled around 20 different wines, but what truly made it special was our host. He didn’t just serve wine — he shared fascinating stories and local myths that brought the region’s history to life with every glass. His passion was contagious, and you could feel how much he genuinely loves what he does. The atmosphere was warm, engaging, and full of personality. It wasn’t just a tasting — it felt like a journey. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend! - The tasting at Salkim Wine House was really great! We drank almost 20 wines, most of them from Cappadocia, white and red and rosy and fruit wine. Erdi knows a lot about wine and can feel his passion for wine culture. I didn't know anything about Turkish wine before, and this time it was a long shot. The whole process was easy and a lot of lessons were learned. The decor is also interesting. Erdi deliberately asked me to write a review in Chinese, saying that there are not many Chinese tourists and I hope to see more Chinese. It's worth recommending.

Very fun experience to learn about wine - This was a really fun experience and chance to learn all about Turkish wines. We tasted 22 different wines from white to dessert wines. The grapes ranged from those native to Turkey to well-known grapes such as Chardonnay. Our host was engaging and entertaining. Great activity to do in Avanos!
