★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,357 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $82Our pick

Meet Irene, Gerasimos, and their family at a working vineyard and olive farm in Marathi. Walk among low-growing vines and olive trees, learn how wine and oil are made, then enjoy local food, two red wines, and live Greek music.

“We had a lovely time visiting this family farm and winery. Our visit began with a tour of the vineyards and olive groves and was very informative. He explained their unique methods, such as why their vines are grown in circles close to the ground. It was interesting but the best part was sampling their wine, cheese and olives. Even though it was only 10:00 in the morning, we finished two bottles of fantastic wine! The whole tour was enhanced by the great hosts. They were very welcoming and rightfully proud of their farm and produce.”
