Wine Tourism Experiences of Local Tourists Following Thrace Vineyard Route
Keywords:
Wine tourism, Wine Tourists, Thrace vineyard routeAbstract
This study aims to evaluate wine tourists’ experiences within the context of wine tourism
–a topic which is not researched in Turkish tourism literature. In order to reach this goal a
semi-structured questionnaire which consists of four open ended questions were handed
over to 23 wine tourists-who were following Thrace Vineyard Route and call themselves
as literally wine tourists- between 1st of September 2014 and 1st of October 2015.
Research findings indicate that wine tourists are wealthy in economic sense, highly
educated, competent with terms related to wine, following up wine world closely and
individuals attending travels motivated by wine tourism in mind. Besides, wine tourists
describe Thrace Vineyard Route as a bold move in terms of wine tourism and they support
creation of alternative vineyard routes which would help development of wine tourism as
well.
