Cappadocia is a land of layers—carved valleys, ancient civilizations, and timeless rituals. On August 23rd, we invite you to uncover one of Anatolia’s most iconic traditions: rakı.

Hosted in the elegant setting of The Plum Restaurant at Ariana Lodge, this exclusive event will be guided by Erdem Burhan Geyik, Turkey’s first Rakı Category Brand Ambassador and a seasoned distilled spirits educator. It’s more than a tasting—it’s a journey into the spirit of a culture.
