This isn't just a tasting; it's a backstage pass to the soul of Kefalonian viticulture. While many enjoy the island’s wine, few understand the journey it takes from the rugged slopes of the Robola Zone to our cellar.

What makes this experience truly unique is the breadth of the discovery. You will go behind the scenes of our production to see our craft firsthand before sitting down to a masterclass of 7 distinct labels. This includes our rarest 'insider' bottles: the Old Vines Robola, our small-batch oak-aged Vostilidi, and our skin-contact Orange wine—varieties and styles you simply won't find in a typical wine shop.

We believe wine is a conversation, so we pair these rare pours with local cheeses, our estate-grown extra virgin olive oil and freshly baked sourdough bread. It is the most comprehensive, educational, and delicious immersion into the flavors of Kefalonia available today.

What to expect

Experience the journey of Kefalonian wine at our boutique winery, perched just above the turquoise waters of Avithos Beach. This experience offers a deep dive into the island’s winemaking heritage, focusing on the high-altitude grapes that travel from the rugged mountain slopes to our coastal cellar.

Your visit begins with an introduction to the unique terroir of Mt. Ainos. While our vines thrive in the high-altitude, limestone soils of the Omala and Fagias Valley, you will learn how that mountain environment shapes the crisp, mineral identity of the Robola grape. We will share the story of the harvest and the careful transport of the fruit to our seaside location.

Inside the winery, we take you through the production process. You’ll explore our fermentation area, discovering how we harness the purity of the fruit using contemporary techniques and a minimalist philosophy.

The experience culminates in a tasting of seven signature labels. Relax in our tasting area as you are guided through the aromatic profiles and textures of our wines. To complete the experience, traditional local cheeses will be served, allowing you to savor the authentic flavors of Kefalonia.
