Sunny vineyards gazing at Mount Olympus

This journey will take us a few steps away from the city and into the vineyards of PGI Epanomi. Mount Olympus looms over the vines as a guardian angel protecting them from harm.

Our first stop will be at Domaine Florian, a German who chose his adoptive country and became Greek at heart. This boutique winery is the result of a long family tradition in viticulture and winemaking. Here, Florian focuses on environmentally friendly and quality oriented cultivation of his vineyards. The wine tasting on the balcony overlooking the bay, will include some of their most classic labels.

The next stop will be at the renowned Ktima (=estate) Gerovassiliou where the vines gaze at Mount Olympus and benefit from the constant sea breezes of the Aegean. Owner Mr. Gerovassiliou aside from being a trendsetter and undeniably one of the best winemakers in Greece, is also an avid art lover and collector of wine objects and corkscrews. These are displayed in the Wine Museum of the estate. The wine tasting of these iconic wines takes place in the new building that floats over the vines and gazes at the mountain.

Wine Tour Itinerary

Time Schedule

10:00am Start of our Wine and Tasting Odyssey !

10:45am Our first stop around 10.45am is the charming Domaine Florian. This family run, boutique winery is located in the well-known wine region of Epanomi and is the result of a long family tradition in viticulture and winemaking. In order to financially sustain the ethos of the family business and to ensure year-round work for the employees, the farm also produces exquisite olive oils, honey and Greek aromatic plants, such as oregano, lavender and thyme. Florian’s philosophy has always honoured the importance of sustainable environment management and quality-oriented cultivation of vineyards. He emphasises traditional vinification processes, combined with modern cellar equipment. A tour of the farm and vines will conclude by wine tasting on the balcony overlooking the bay. Depending on the season you may also want to take part in the seasonal harvesting.

12:00pm Around noon we will arrive at Ktima Gerovassiliou, one of the most established and acclaimed wineries of North 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 mainly Greek but also 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

03:00pm Our journey will come to an end with our return to Thessaloniki.
