EDITOR'S REVIEW
A small courtyard wine bar with a sommelier led approach, offering Turkish indigenous grape varieties by the glass.
Quiet music keeps the focus on tasting and conversation. The experience is more about wine than a live music schedule.
Few tables, a calm mood and personal service. It becomes more animated when full, while staying a seated wine bar.
A boutique wine bar focused on Turkey's indigenous grapes, paired with tapas, by the glass tastings and sommelier advice in a small courtyard.
Wine enthusiasts, couples and small groups who want to spend time over a glass.
Comfortable, neat everyday clothes are appropriate.
Wayana Wine Bar is a small, family-run business in Moda that is highly popular among wine enthusiasts for its extensive selection of wines from local producers and its regular tasting events. A key advantage is the ability to sample wines from the menu by the glass, in half-portions, or in even smaller tasting sizes. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled at making recommendations; the complimentary "welcome wine" served at the table stands out as a nice touch. The tapas selection is varied and delicious, including vegan options. There are few main course options, some portions are small, and the space is cramped; the indoor temperature can feel inadequate on cold days. The overall experience is better suited for exploration, tasting, and quiet conversation than for a long, full meal.
