Tasting Journey Itinerary

Time Schedule

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

At the first stop in the Deli shop downtown you will have the opportunity to taste exquisite olive oils from all over Greece while gaining unique insight regarding the olive oil production. During the tasting you will try 6 olive oils from different regions as well as varieties, discuss the organoleptic qualities of each of them and discover yourself the complexity of taste olive oil has. But the tasting journey doesn't end here, then you will explore the versatile world of honey trying a big variety from every corner of Greece. Consistency, taste and colour can vary but we promise that each of the honey, you are going to try, is of the highest quality. From the most remote mountains to the smallest islands, great producers trust us with their produce and we do our best spreading their stories and ethos.

13:00pm 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.

04:00pm Our journey will come to an end with our return to Thessaloniki.

Ktima Gerovassiliou

This estate is located at the hills of Epanomi with its 75 hectares of private vineyards, that are caressed by the gentle sea breeze under Zeus’ supervision. The three buildings host a state of the art winery, the Wine Museum and the Reception Area where tastings and events take place. Works of art from famous Greek sculptors are scattered across the vines which make your visit even more stimulating. Tasting the estates’ wines from mainly indigenous varieties will be an experience on its own.
