Incesu Grape Festival
The İncesu Grape Festival, held every year on the first Saturday of September since 1991, is important for the promotion of the delicious and high-quality grapes produced in the district, for encouraging producers, contributing to the district's economy, and for increasing social activity in the district.
In İncesu, where 500 tons of grapes are produced annually, 27 different types of grapes are grown. Due to the mountainous surroundings and climate of İncesu, its grapes are sweet and delicious. There aren't many people producing the valuable black and rose grapes like in previous years. The most commonly produced grapes in the region are Şam and Karaevrek. It is known that the history of İncesu grapes dates back 200 years, and that the Greeks who lived in İncesu for many years planted grapes in rocky and sandy areas to make wine.
