Tribute to Pera in the times of "The Belle Époque".
Pera is known as the ancient name Beyoğlu, meaning "opposite, beyond, other" in Greek. One rumor suggests that the term Beyoğlu originates from Luigi Giritti, son of André Giritti, the Venetian ambassador during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, who lived in a mansion on Beyoğlu's side.
According to another rumor, the name Beyoğlu comes from the fact that Alexios Komnenos, one of the Pontus princes, accepted Islam and lived here during the reign of Mehmed the Conqueror.
Cadde-i Kebir, Grande Rue de Pera, Pera or Beyoğlu... Whatever it's called, Pera was a place where non-Muslim citizens of the Ottoman Empire lived and where several embassies were located until the mid-19th century, and after the Tanzimat period, it became a center of attraction for many more, with entertainment venues, luxury shops, businesses, restaurants, hotels, patisseries, and much more.
These are the stops you must make to embark on a journey to Pera's "La Belle Époque," known as the 'Beautiful Peri.' This Vermouth Series pays homage to it.
In addition to vermouth, we also make rum , vodka , liqueur and raki .
