Küp Winery was founded in 1959 by Hasan ALTINTAŞ in Bekilli-Denizli.
The winemaking history of the region dates back to the Phrygian era in 1200 B.C. During those times, the area, then known as Pepuza, produced fruit wines such as cherry and pomegranate in amphorae, along with grape wine. Today, the region boasts a wide variety of wine grapes and is home to new grape trials, benefiting from very suitable soil and climate conditions for wine grapes.
