Since 1896

Ahmet Adnan Kutman, member of the third generation of the family’s wine business, developed and pursued the production in the new facilities he established himself and also started to retrieve the wineries that were divided due to inheritance issues. Lastly in 2003 he took back the first winery where the family first started the business, thus realized his lifelong dream, and he rebuilt the completely ruined building to its original state, while protecting the existing style.
During a business trip made to Portugal in 1988, A. Adnan Kutman was present during a recital held in an old winery and he was very impressed. He said to himself that “one day we shall see this beauty in my country too” and begun to collect all the ancient machinery, instruments and documents belonging to the family.
This effort took nearly 15 years to realize. You now can visit the Kutman Wine Museum where you can see the first instruments the family used in wine making, the accounting records, the land registers and population records from the 1911 Ottoman period, Mürefte’s post-earthquake pictures, as well as the art gallery composed of the paintings of the decorator and paint artist Temel Şen who participated to the restoration of the museum building.
