A date night worth crossing continents for.
Take the sunset ferry to Istanbul's Asian side, settle into a candlelit courtyard, and let a sommelier pour you both through Anatolia's rarest grapes — one glass at a time. For anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, or no reason at all.
Why couples cross the water for WAYANA
A wine bar built around conversation: no bottle commitments, no rush, and a host who tells you the story behind every pour.
How a date night at WAYANA goes
Arrive with the sunset
Cross on the ferry from Karaköy or Eminönü as the light turns gold, wander up from the water, and find your table waiting — your flight opens with a small merhaba pour.
Two flights, side by side
Your sommelier builds each of you a different flight of native grapes — swap, compare, argue sweetly about your favourites. Every wine comes with its story.
Tapas made for two forks
Hittite-named small plates designed for pairing and sharing — vegetarian and gluten-free options always on the table.
Linger as long as you like
Nobody turns your table. Finish with a rare late-harvest grape and drift back through Moda's lantern-lit streets.
Reserve your eveningMake it an occasion
Anniversary, birthday, proposal, honeymoon — tell us when you book. We'll hold the quietest corner of the courtyard and help you time the moment so you don't have to think about anything but each other.
Make a whole night of it
The tasting is the centrepiece — Moda supplies the rest of the evening.
The sunset ferry
Twenty minutes from Karaköy, tea in a tulip glass, gulls overhead and the old city glowing behind you — the most romantic commute in Istanbul.
A seafront stroll
Walk the Moda promenade hand in hand as the lights come on across the water, then cut up through the backstreets to the courtyard.
Caferağa after dark
Wander out into Moda's quiet courtyards and late-night ice cream queues — the Asian side stays gentle long after the tasting ends.
