Therefore, Thrace Vineyard Route (TVR) enterprises were selected as samples, which were established in 2013 with the support of Thracian Development Agency (TRAKYAKA). Face-to-face interviews were conducted with people, who were either owner or the managers of eight out of all 12 TVR enterprises. Revealing the customer perceptions of TVR enterprises, their viewpoints, and the place and importance within their locations/whereabouts are among the objectives of this study. The data were evaluated through her hermeneutic research method and descriptive analysis technique. This is a heuristic research, since TVR and LOHAS have never been studied in Turkey before. It was observed at the end of this study that there exists a population embracing LOHAS lifestyle in Turkey, and it was determined that they have demands towards gastronomy tourism and some suggestions were offered through predictions regarding these demands.Mehmet Han ERGÜVENAysel YILMAZFırat Universityarticleglocallohasthrace vineyard routegastronomy tourismthraceSocial SciencesHSocial sciences (General)H1-99DEENFRTRJournal of Academic Social Science Studies , Vol 9, Iss 51, Pp 265-275 (2019)
