Abstract

Viticulture is in an important position for the agricultural sector in Turkey. The historical background of viticulture
in Anatolian and the fact that Anatolian lands have ecologically suitable conditions for viticulture play a major role in
the formation of this situation. It is possible to come across various types of grapes in almost every region of Turkey.
The quality of these grapes has been approved not only at the national level but also in international competitions. The
Cappadocia Region in Turkey has an important position and potential in terms of viticulture and vineyard tourism. In this
context, this study aims to reveal the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the vineyard tourism potential
of the Cappadocia Region. As a result of the study, suggestions were made for the effective use of the vineyard tourism
potential in the region.
