In this study, the efficiency of energy use in grape production of important viticulture enterprises in Nevşehir province located in the Cappadocia region of Turkey was determined. To do this, viticulture enterprises were examined; face-to-face surveys, observations, and field studies were conducted with 165 producers, which were determined according to the proportional sampling method in Merkez, Gülşehir, and Ürgüp districts of Nevşehir province, where the most grapes are grown. Calculations were made on the basis of the results. Grape yield, energy input, energy output, energy use efficiency, specific energy, energy productivity, and net energy in grape production and were calculated to be, respectively, 10,118.53 kg ha−1; 14,226.97 MJ ha−1; 119,398.64 MJ ha−1; 8.39, 1.41 MJ kg−1; 0.71 kg MJ−1; and 105,171.67 MJ ha−1. Renewable energy input in grape production was calculated as 3810.96 MJ ha−1 (26.79%), and nonrenewable energy input was calculated as 10,416 MJ ha−1 (73.21%). In terms of energy use efficiency (8.39), grape production is an economical activity.
