Amazing experience! This is a women and family owned, business that’s been around for 100+ years. Sofia was an amazing host/guide who truly made the tour what it was. You feel like you’re a part of the family! They were very generous with the tastings, and the snack pairings were perfect. The liquors were delicious and we actually learned a lot about citron, the distilling process, and a little bit of general facts on Naxos. So much fun for a group of friends, family, or couple. The tour is a small group so you get a very intimate experience. Highly recommend!

Sophia was an amazing representative to her family’s distillery. She was warm, gracious and knowledgeable about the business. She gave us a brief history about the distillery and its operations and she even showed us how to bottle our own Kitron as a take away gift. The food was delicious and the drinks were superb! Overall, a great day had by all. I would definitely recommend this to those visiting Naxos as this is the only island in Greece that has Kitron.

Staff was passionate and engaging, Citron was flowing and tasty! Expect to spend 1.5-2hrs on this tour as it it is quite boozy. So much to try!

Sofia was a great host and makes everyone feel as though they are the best group. I loved the family history and story of their business. Beautiful place. Such an awesome experience. And the snacks were so good and a lot.

From when you arrive the family greet you and make you feel welcome. The tour was run by Sofia who is a wonderful, vibrant and fun individual. She had us laughing, giggling, oohhhing and ahhing at all points of the tour. We got to learn the process of Citron and try all the products the family makes, which were all amazing! I especially loved the chocolate with the citron. This was an unforgettable experience and everyone needs to add it to the top of their list when visiting Naxos. Thank you!

What a wonderful experience! Sofia was a delight. We learned so much about her family business of making delicious citron beverages. The tour was informative, interesting and so much fun. You will drink so many tasty things and eat very tasty food. Even on a very hot day, we were cool, refreshed and well taken care of. Please go visit this wonderful family legacy and learn about their amazing citron products.

This was one of my best experiences throughout my time in Greece! Sofia is so much fun and an excellent host. I learned a lot and enjoyed trying all of the different products they make.

This was an incredible experience! We got to see the Citron trees, the distillery process and even bottled our own Kitron! The best part was sitting down on the beautiful patio and wading delicious local food while trying all the drinks. Sophia was such an amazing host. Even our 3 year old had a great time! I highly recommend this tour if you want a great time, good food and good drinks!

This was the best experience we had in Greece. Not just the Cyclades or Naxos, but all of Greece. Our four adult and one infant group was completely blown away by the professionalism, kindness, service and quality of product. Highly, highly recommend!
Extra detail:
The family-run distillery is beautiful and has an enclosed outdoor patio to taste their products. After being served homemade lemonade and a little Greek hor d'ouevre, we entered the citron orchard where Catalina walked us through the process of caring for the trees. We then went into the distillery itself as she explained how the products were made. Inside the distillery, pictures of her grandfather (who started the business in 1915) and her family adorn one side of the wall, while the other side includes a small gift shop of alcohol and other items.
When we finally sat down for the tastings, we had the opportunity to try the raki, ouzo and three different kinds of citron of different colours and sweetness levels. The snacks to accompany the spirit pairings, which included candied citron, dark chocolate and figs, were also delicious. Catalina, the woman who led the tour, made us all feel right at home, so included, and took care of our every wish.
Now, while this would have earned a 5 star review regardless due to how much our group enjoyed the experience, the most incredible part was how she accommodated to the baby. She was kind, gentle and the parents of the infant ended up titling Catalina the baby's "Greek Mother". The baby particularly loved sucking on the candied citron leaves and Catalina, just through observation, got up and gave the mother a package of them free of charge.
This is all to say, it was wonderful and I can guarantee that I and every member in our group will remember it forever.
Last minor detail for those looking for more of a party-vibe: the servings are wild. Very easy and affordable way to get the party started! ;)

Très bel accueil, entreprise familiale et production artisanale. Pas de dégustations de citrons mais d’alcool à base de citrons ainsi que d’autres produits élaborés sur place tel que raki, ouzo et limoncello. Copieux accompagnements de nourriture en accord avec les dégustations. Le temps alloué à la visite des lieux prend environ 30 minutes (plantation et distillerie) mais le temps de la dégustation prend au moins une heure! On se sent un peu presser car beaucoup d’alcool et bouchées à déguster en peu de temps même si notre guide nous dit de prendre le temps. L’activité devrait s’inscrire comme une durée de 90 minutes! On a fait beaucoup de social et avons grandement apprécié ce moment!

Un des coup de coeur de notre voyage. Sofia est une hôte exemplaire. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir avec elle. La nourriture et les boissons étaient très bonnes et nous avons appris plusieurs informations très pertinentes par rapport au Kitron et à sa fabrication.
