Mykonos is famous not only for its snow-white houses, picturesque beaches, and vibrant atmosphere, but also for its gastronomic traditions. We invite you to discover another side of the famous Greek island — to get acquainted with local winemaking, traditional products, and the measured life of the islanders.
During the tour, you will visit a traditional winery, where you will learn about the peculiarities of grape growing in the climate of the Cyclades and get acquainted with local winemaking traditions.

Traditional winery of Mykonos
The journey will begin with a walk through the vineyards. You will learn about the grape varieties grown on the island, how the local climate affects their characteristics, and how traditional Greek wines are made.
The winery offers to get acquainted with several types of wine, including white, rosé, and sweet dessert options.
If the journey coincides with the harvest season, there may be an opportunity to see the traditional process of grape crushing.

The continuation of the acquaintance with the winery will be a tasting of wines accompanied by locally produced cheeses.
This is an opportunity to learn about the gastronomic traditions of Mykonos, the characteristics of local products, and the culture of Greek winemaking.
