Ikaria, Two Family-run Wineries in a single Day

Embark on the original Ikarian Wine Tour, the most authentic and immersive way to discover Ikaria’s rich wine culture, its ancient traditions, and its unforgettable sunsets. Designed for wine lovers, explorers, and romantics, this experience brings you to two of the island’s most emblematic wineries, offering a full journey through flavour, heritage, and breathtaking Aegean views.

Your adventure begins at Karimalis Winery in Pigi, a historic, family-owned estate where Iliana, the youngest generation of winemakers, is passionately reviving ancient Ikarian winemaking techniques. Here, you’ll tour her winery, learn about indigenous grapes such as Begleri, and enjoy a guided tasting of her finest wines overlooking the entire Aegean Sea — a moment that captures the true essence of Ikaria.

The experience continues with a scenic drive through the island’s rugged landscape to Tsantiris Winery, one of Ikaria’s most renowned wine estates. After an extended tour through the vineyards, production areas, and cellar, you will enjoy a tasting of three distinctive wines, each reflecting the island’s volcanic soils, microclimates, and deep culinary traditions.

The highlight of the tour awaits at the end: free time at the winery’s bar, where you can relax with a glass of wine and admire the most spectacular sunset in Ikaria — a magical, immersive moment that stays with you long after the experience ends.

Perfect for couples, groups, or solo travellers seeking authenticity, this wine tour is the ideal way to taste, explore, and feel the true soul of Ikaria.
