Kefalonia Wine Tour

1.Kefalonia Wine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 373 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $108Our pick

Spend four to five hours in rural Kefalonia with Julia, a local grape grower and olive farmer. Visit her family’s vines and olive trees, taste homemade wine and grappa with Greek snacks, then sample eight wines at Orealios Winery beside St. Gerasimos Cathedral. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included.

“Julia is a wonderful host - being a wine grower and olive farmer herself she was able to give a great insight into the Kefalonian wine industry and village life. Visits to her vineyard, family home for some delicious Greek snacks (and wine of course!) and then a full wine tasting experience at the local winery made an excellent afternoon trip - could not recommend this excursion enough, especially with Julia.”

2.Kefalonia Island Bus Tour- Wine Tasting, Melissani & Fiscardo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 301 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $41

Travel across Kefalonia by air-conditioned coach with an English-speaking guide such as Duska, Maria, or Katerina. Taste Robola wine, visit St. Gerasimos Monastery and two striking caves, eat in Fiskardo, and stop above Myrtos Beach. It is a full island sampler, not a relaxed beach day.

“This was my boyfriend and I’s first time at Kefalonia and the tour helped us view the highlights of the island and learn about its rich history. Duska was a wonderful tour guide - she was very knowledgeable and gave us so much interesting insight into the island.”

3.Wine Tasting, Melissani, Drogarati & Fiscardo

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 207 reviews · 9 hours · from $42

Spend nine hours touring Kefalonia by air-conditioned bus with an English-speaking local guide. Taste Robola wine, visit Agios Gerasimos Monastery, descend to Drogarati Cave, row across Melissani Lake, enjoy free time in Fiscardo, and stop for photos above Myrtos Beach.

“Our guide Maria was very informative and so friendly. We learnt so much about Greek history, myths and legends. The places we visited were very interesting and even though we visited a lot of places in one day, it didn’t feel rushed or exhausting because it was so enjoyable. Yiannis our coach driver looked after us well and drove nice and steady. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience some of the highlights of the island.”

5.Argostoli: Melissani & Drogarati Cave Tour with Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 37 reviews · 5 hours · from $35Best value

See Kefalonia’s two famous caves by guided bus, ride a wooden boat across Melissani’s clear underground lake, pause at Myrtos Beach, and finish with a local wine tasting. English, Italian, and Spanish guides are available, with cruise-port pickup and hotel transfers.

“el tour fue estupendo, el recorrido fue mas de lo que esperábamos, los lugares hermosos, pero sobretodo Katherina fue una excelente guía, con muchos conocimientos y mucha pasión y amor por lo que hace, nos hizo el tour en un italiano perfecto. Recorrimos gran parte de la isla en aproximadamente 3,5 horas (nosotros no quisimos hacer la cata de vinos, preferimos ir a recorrer el centro de Cefalonia). Nos fueron a buscar y a dejar al crucero. Hermosa experiencia! muy recomendable.”
