Wine Tasting Vacations

Visit Vineyards and Wineries and Taste the Great Greek Wine

Whether you’re looking for wine tasting vacations or just want to include a visit to a winery in your holidays in Greece, you’ve come to the right place!

Eleftheres is surrounded by vineyards and wine producers. Not only that, we are situated centrally in the wine region of Pangeo, the mountain area that according to some myths was the very birthplace and main cult area of the very wine god himself, Dionysus.

Here the Tsikrikoni family has produced wine for generations. Stathis, who is running the family business today practically grew up in the vineyards.

He tells of how he after school would go on his bike to the fields where his parents where working and lie under the vines reading his homework. That might be one of the reasons why he got such a fingertip feeling for winemaking.

Stathis speaks passionately about creating wine and how he instinctively knows how a dash of this grape and a bit of that one will add just the flavour that makes his Sauvignon stand out from the Sauvignon produced by others. He says with a proud smile:

The wine should reflect the personality of the person who makes it!

The Tsikrikoni family’s vineyards are situated in the neighbouring village to Eleftheres, Myrtofyto, on an altitude of 300 meters, but still so close to the sea that the salt and smells of the sea adds a subtle spice to the grapes.

There are also several other wineries in this area that are open for visitors. The village and winery of Mikrochori is situated on the inland side of the Pangeo mountains, in a climate that gives a different taste to the wines produced here.

This is a state of the art winery with impressive buildings and wine cellars - and a very knowledgeable guide who´ll take you around when you visit.
