While many wine tastings are a midday affair, our 6 o'clock experience is designed to embrace the magic of the Ionian 'Golden Hour.' Even as the sun dips behind the landscape, our winery is bathed in a stunning, soft light—making it the most atmospheric time of day to enjoy our terrace and the breathtaking views. What truly sets this apart is the transition from tasting to 'Aperitivo.' We don't just offer a standard flight; we start with a refreshing glass of Sparkling wine and progress through 5 premium labels paired with a generous spread of local treats.
