This experience includes:

Step back in time as you explore our traditional granite press, the clay amphorae where we ferment our wines, and our cultural museum featuring artifacts from Ikarian life and winemaking traditions.

Then, hike to our grandfather Nikos' vineyard to explore Ikarian biodiversity, learn about our soils, and how the ecosystem works in and out of the garden.
