In Naxos, we proudly keep this legacy alive, crafting our famous cheeses one by one, with love and dedication. Join us for a hands-on cheese-making experience where you’ll step into the role of a cheesemaker, learn about the island’s rich cheese-making heritage, and, of course, savor the delicious results. It’s a journey back in time, where every bite tells a story.

Explore the tools and machinery that transform grapes into exquisite wines, and then prepare for the highlight: a tasting of five premium wines. From crisp whites and rosés to robust reds and our signature sun-dried sweet wines, each sip is a celebration of flavor. To complement the wines, we’ll serve local delicacies from our organic garden—think regional cheeses, sun-ripened tomatoes, olives, and more. Together, they’ll transport you to a place of pure joy. But the experience doesn’t end there. A behind-the-scenes video and an engaging conversation will guide you through the journey of each wine, from the vineyard to your glass.
