I’d like to add some pictures of Tekirdağ and Thrace (Trakya), as I’ve had the chance to visit a few local vineyards there and taste some excellent wines. The region is highly suitable for grape cultivation, with its ideal climate for winemaking. It’s often sunny and windy, which helps the grapes maintain lower sugar levels, resulting in wines with balanced alcohol content.
If possible, include views of Tekirdağ city, scenic vineyards, and some wine museums to capture the essence of this remarkable winemaking area.
