A step away from the city

Time Schedule

10am Start of our Wine and Tasting Odyssey!

10:45am Our journey begins at one of the area’s select micro-wineries — each a testament to artisanal winemaking and terroir expression. Depending on the day and the winemaker’s schedule, we’ll visit one of three carefully curated family-owned estates, each producing limited-batch wines with passion and precision. You’ll enjoy a guided stroll by the winemaker him/herself through the estate and taste at least three of their lovingly crafted wines — a true local experience you won’t find in guidebooks.

1:15pm Our next wine experience will be Ktima Gerovassiliou, one of the most established and acclaimed wineries of Northern Greece. The owner Mr. Gerovassiliou, is the responsible person for the revival of Malagouzia, an old and forgotten Greek variety which he has cultivated with love since the 80’s.

His love for art is prominent, as dispersed in the vineyards you will see his significant collection from Greek and international sculptors. He is also an avid collector of viticulture, winemaking, bottling and cooperage tools from around the world and especially corkscrews; all these items are displayed in the Wine Museum of the estate that we will visit during our tour. The tasting takes place in the unique area overlooking the vines and Mount Olympus, where you will taste wines exclusively produced from Greek grape varieties. Combined with aromatically compatible Greek raw materials.

3:30pm We’ll wrap up our adventure as we head back to Thessaloniki.

Aslanis Family Winery

A genuine family-run enterprise in every sense. The father, Laskaris Aslanis, dedicates his efforts to tending the vineyard, while his wife Syrmo expertly manages the finances. Their daughters are also deeply involved: Vicky leads the sales and marketing, and Lena, trained in enology, focuses primarily on the winemaking process in the cellar. The estate's organically farmed vineyards are located on a picturesque plot in Nea Michaniona, Thessaloniki. Laskaris’s devotion is evident in each bottle produced, with the indigenous Limnio variety standing out—earning a place among Greece’s 50 Best Wines in 2021.
