Escape the crowds and discover the authentic wine culture of Naxos through an immersive experience at a historic family-owned estate nestled in the mountains of northwestern Naxos. Wander through dramatic terraced vineyards, taste exceptional wines and enjoy local delicacies while learning the story of a unique winegrowing tradition that has been passed down for generations.
Your experience begins with a guided walk through the estate's vineyards, following ancient stone paths that wind across steep terraces overlooking a spectacular gorge. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, you'll discover indigenous grape varieties, centuries-old vines and the remarkable landscape that shapes the wines of Naxos.
As you explore the vineyards, you'll learn how the estate's fifth generation of winegrowers continues to cultivate the land using traditional, organic and biodynamic practices. Your guide will share the history of local viticulture, the significance of native grape varieties and the close relationship between the island's landscape, climate and wines.
The experience concludes in the peaceful courtyards of the old farmhouse, where you'll enjoy a guided tasting of the estate's award-winning wines alongside a generous selection of farm-to-table specialties prepared with estate produce and carefully selected local ingredients. Taste artisan cheeses, cured meats, homemade jams, local honey and handmade pies, each thoughtfully paired to complement the wines.
Your tasting includes four estate wines presented as a vertical tasting, one white and one rose from two consecutive vintages, offering a fascinating opportunity to discover how wines evolve over time. You'll also enjoy two exclusive experimental wines currently aging and unavailable anywhere else: a late-harvest sweet red wine and a sun-dried Aidani sweet white wine, finishing with a traditional grape distillate known locally as "Raki".
Whether you're an experienced wine lover or simply curious about authentic local traditions, this experience offers an unforgettable journey through the landscapes, flavors and heritage of one of the Aegean's most distinctive wine regions
