Our Story
Where Wine Becomes an Experience
At TURKUAZ, our wine list is rooted in the warmth and complexity of the Mediterranean. We champion the sun-drenched vineyards of Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain and the wider Levant — seeking out indigenous grape varieties and small producers whose bottles speak honestly of the land they come from. Alongside our Mediterranean heart, we proudly celebrate the growing excellence of English wine, with a curated selection of bottles from the finest Sussex producers and beyond.
Step through our doors and feel the pace shift. TURKUAZ was conceived as a place where curiosity is welcomed and no question about wine is ever out of place. Our team are passionate without being precious — here to guide, share and discover alongside you. Whether you are settling in for a long evening or popping in for a single well-chosen glass, you will always be made to feel at home in Eastbourne's most considered wine bar.
Every visit to TURKUAZ offers the quiet pleasure of the unexpected — a grape variety you have never tried, a producer whose name you will not forget, a pairing that changes the way you think about a dish. Our list evolves with the seasons and with our own enthusiasms, so there is always a reason to return. Come as a curious newcomer or a seasoned enthusiast; there is always another bottle waiting to become your new favourite.
