Lucien Arkas Vineyard-LA Mahzen is Once Again Among the Best Wine Cellars in the World

For the second time, our cellar has ranked among the top wine cellars in the world. Lucien Arkas Vineyard became the only winery from Turkey to be included in the World Winery Collection, a book that features a selection of 34 special wineries built after 2000.

Following his earlier book “The Winery Collection”, which explored winery architecture in Italy, Architect Luca Molinari saw the interest of wine lovers towards vineyards and he collected the architecturally outstanding wineries around the world into another book. Written by Luca Molinari and published by the Italian publishing house Forma Edizioni, “The World Winery Collection” is comprised of a selection of 34 special wineries that were built after 2000. LA Mahzen was also included among the list of exclusive buildings, including Chateau Margaux, selected from Europe, America, South Africa, Oceania, China and Japan. LA Mahzen was thus listed among the best cellars of the world for a second time. In our era, when new wineries and architectures designed by prestigious architects have become a decisive factor in creating brand awareness, the inclusion of Lucien Arkas Vineyard and LA Mahzen in this book also shows a positive change in how Turkish viniculture is perceived in the international area.
