Very fun experience, 10/10 would recommend - The tasting was wonderful! Great variety of Kitron and related alcohols, paired with foods that complement them. The tour was comprehensive, and Sofia is a knowledgeable, friendly, and funny guide to her and her family’s distillery.

Sofia is a gem - So much fun! Sofia was great and so funny. We had a great time but don’t plan on driving after the tour. Good alcohol and good food. We plan on visiting their store near the port before we leave.

Sofia and Mother Provided a SPECTACULAR Experience - Sofia was our Host for 2+ hours. She is a beautiful and wonderful person with a gregarious personality, and guided us through Citron, 3 wines, Ouzo, Raki and other tastings that were spectacular. Her Mother joined us at the end. I had fun siding with each’s perspectives, which were different. Sofia, with pride well earned, exhibited the wonderful characteristics of a 4th generation distillery and wine vineyard. The food provided balanced all the tasty beverages. The experience was un-paralleled ! Everything was tasty, and the fun of her presentation was superb. This is a MUST-DO experience on Naxos! Highly recommended. HI SOFIA !! Ron & Fay from Pantheon Luxury Suites, hosted by Tasos !

Unforgettable experience - From when you arrive the family greet you and make you feel welcome. The tour was run by Sofia who is a wonderful, vibrant and fun individual. She had us laughing, giggling, oohhhing and ahhing at all points of the tour. We got to learn the process of Citron and try all the products the family makes, which were all amazing! I especially loved the chocolate with the citron. This was an unforgettable experience and everyone needs to add it to the top of their list when visiting Naxos. Thank you!
