Truly recommend!
We had a great time spending time with Manolis and his siblings, learning about their vineyard, olive trees, and honey bees. What a tremendous experience and we are proud to support a truly family-run 8th generation heritage business! Their father even picked some of the most delicious tomatoes from their garden to pair with our breakfast!
Best of luck to the family in their future developments to the Estate and sharing your craft with the visitors to Naxos!
Honey, Olive Oil, and Wine in one!
We visited the property because we were intrigued by the ability to taste wine, honey, and olive oil all on one property. The hosts were 4 siblings. One reviews the property and history, one keeps the bees, one cooked breakfast after our tour, and the 4th made us an amazing Greek coffee after breakfast. They are warm and clearly passionate.
The property is beautiful and sits on a hill overlooking the olive grooves and vines (some were 200 years old). The zucchini tart was served warm and delicious, and made in-house and served along side locally produced cheeses and meats with their estate-produced honey and olive oil.
A few notes:
1) Once you come off of the main road, you are on a dirt road for a bit. Don't stress! Just take it slow and steady...the adventure is worth it and the views are incredible!
2) Read info on what to wear for the visit to the apiary (bee farms). Yes they provide protective gear, but it is worth being prepared before you arrive (no perfumes, long sleeves and pants, etc)
3) Definitely add the wine tasting!
Thanks to our hosts Sophie and Marco - a really talented family with an incredible passion. It showed in the products and in the tour.
