Tour Details
Tour code: JIK01

Take our Wine tasting tour in Ikaria and learn the secrets of the famous Ikarian “Pramnios” wine.

The winery was set up by George Karimalis and his wife Eleni in 1999. The millennia long tradition of producing the ancient ‘Pramnios’ wine of Homer’s time has been preserved in the wine production. All the wines produced are labeled PGI Ikaria (Protected Geographical Indication) and are minimal intervention products. 

Our Wine tasting tour in Ikaria includes a stroll around the vineyard and familiarisation with the grape varieties cultivated within it. This leisurely walk finishes at the winery, where the various steps of the wine-making and aging process are explained and the activity closes with tasting the range of all our wines, accompanied by local delicacies.

What’s more, participants are given a tour in the Ikarian wine making techniques of yesteryear with a visit to the old press and the ‘pythostasi’, which are carefully preserved on the farm. Guests will enjoy learning the history of the ancient ‘Pramnios’ wine and the way it was produced, as well as the wine producing history of our own vineyards and will be shown antiquated machinery, wine storage vessels and viticultural tools used by the ancestors of the family.

All presentations and discussions during the tour can be conducted in both Greek and English, making this journey through the captivating world of taste and history an experience not to be missed!

During the tasting events, our guests are acquainted with the winemaking procedures, the local varieties of grapes used for each wine, how the various types of wine compliment certain foods, the organoleptic testing methods used, and the particular language for the colour, aroma, flavour and aftertaste of wines, along with the basic categories of wine and the wines of Protected Geographical Indication.

The actual wine tastings are accompanied with delicacies that come 100% from the farm, such as pre-leavened hand kneaded bread, goat’s cheese, fresh veg, olives, etc.

Lohnenswerte Weinprobe
Sehr gut organisierte und interessante Weinprobe mit guten Häppchen als Begleitung. Man
sollte auch die Möglichkeit des hervorragenden Abendessens im Anschluss mit
atemberaubendem Blick über die Berge aufs Meer nutzen.

Perfect cooking experience!
Had an amazing day of cooking lessons at Karimalis today! Eleni inspired us all in helping us make Ikarian pies (including the filo pastry from scratch), soufiko (an Ikarian vegetable dish), and fava… also got to to try other yummy things. Ate everything we prepared on a beautiful terrace looking out over the vineyard to the sea. Eleni, George (who gave us lots of info on the Ikarian diet) and their helpers are all so lovely and helpful. A great way to spend a day on Ikaria!

Breathtaking location for an inspiring cooking lesson.
Breathtaking location for a cooking lesson learning how to cook organically in the traditional Ikarian way. Eleni and George guide you through an engaging, thought provoking and fascinating journey through traditional Ikarian cuisine. You lean by listening, watching and active participation; and finally you test your newly found skills with an amazing lunch on their incredible terrace with views down to the sea.
So much to learn, enjoy and reflect upon.
