Glad we took the tour
I’m so glad we took this tour. We learned a lot about local wine production and saw things we wouldn’t have on our own. It gave us a better understanding of what wine making is on Naxos from ancient to modern times. The guide was engaging and the mythology part of Dionysus was awesome!

Lovely experience for wine lovers!Katia was such an excellent tour guide. Not overloading us with extraneous information but just enough history & background to make sense before wine tasting. The visit at the local winery was very rewarding and fun. Great host and great wine. This tour was one of our highlights of our week on Naxos!
