Description

Nestled in the embrace of Western Macedonia, Amyntaio is a region of unparalleled beauty, adorned with three enchanting lakes that mirror the surrounding mountains. The culinary scene is a delightful symphony of flavors, with local establishments like Naoumidis restaurant, Thomas, and Kontosoros garnering prestigious awards for their gastronomic excellence. However, it's the vineyards that truly steal the spotlight in Amyntaio. Renowned globally for its Xinomavro wineries, the region's terroir and skilled vintners produce wines that captivate the senses. As you traverse the winery trails, such as Alpha Estate and Domain Karanika — with Vegoritis Winery available as an optional stop — you'll uncover the secrets of this mystical land, where every sip and every bite is a journey into the heart of Greek hospitality and nature's sublime artistry. Three restaurant options to eat: Thomas, Kontosoros, Naoumidis (Not included in price)

Beyond the Blue Domes

This was an extraordinary tour. Many people go to Santorini and only take in the beauty of Oia and Fira. We wanted venture past the city walls, and learn about history and culture and Justelene did just that. We visited a winery whose wine options were vast and delicious. This winery also had an array of beautiful artwork. we never felt like we were being pushed to buy, rather, invited to enjoy. Next was the Donkey brewery where we had several tastings and had a fun time with the 2 brew masters serving us and telling us stories about the friends who created Donkey. Then we went to an amazing farm where we learned and sampled pistachio's, tomatoes, cucumbers and many other vegetables grown to create culinary delights. Next, Justelene brought us to a tiny village to walk around at our leisure. The day was more than fantastic, not too rushed and yet we covered everything that we asked for. Thank you Justelene for a great day.
