A chance to taste various kinds of citrus fruit and traditional Naxian marzipan, covered in smooth, dark chocolate,citron- flavoured "halvadopita" and dried citrus fruit. Naxian ouzo, a must for any lover of all things Greek, can also be enjoyed with olives, bread sticks,a different kind of "ntakos" and a wide variety of our own fruit preserves.For those with a taste for the traditional, local "Rakomelo" and citron-flavoured raki will also be served with Naxian figs and nuts. Both tour and citron tasting last 60 minutes.

5.00Our family of 10 (from ages 20 to 57) had a private citron tasting with Sofia, and the whole group agreed it was absolutely our #1 favorite thing we did on Naxos. It wasn't just a party (although it certainly was a party haha) but we also learned so much about their business and the history of their family operation and the various amazing products... the entire event was a delight!! Plan to have a designated driver, because Sofia is not stingy with the pours. Book now, I promise you will not regret it. This is the best!
Fantastic tour and tasting

5.00Our tour was the 1.5 hour tour with Sofia. We loved everything about it! The wine was delicious, the food was amazing, the citron was strong and Sofia was a fantastic host and guide. We learned so much and just had such an enjoyable time. This was one of our favorite activities in Greece! Thank you, Sofia!

5.00Fantastic experience! Sofia is so knowledgable and entertaining. She makes the tour and tasting really enjoyable and fun. All the spirits and wines are excellent and there's a plentiful supply of local cheeses and other delicacies to accompany each one. We've been on lots of wine tastings and whisky tastings but this was far and away the best organised and most enjoyable. The distillery is a bit of a walk out of town and the pavements are hit and miss in Naxos so I'd recommend booking a taxi (Sofia was very happy to arrange one for us). Don't miss it!
One of the best Naxos experiences!

5.00Wow - what an experience! Sophia our host and also family of the owners made this an incredible experience. We've been on loads of tours and experiences all over the world and this is up there as one of the best. Do yourself a favour and book a tour - you won't be disappointed. Fun, educational and some fantastic beverages along the way! Thank you SO much Sophia! You made my Naxos birthday one of the best!! X

5.00This was such a fabulous experience! I cant say enough good things about our guide Sophia. She was entertaining and found great ways to incorporate my 11 year old son into the event so he still felt included. There was a bit of a scheduling issue through viator, but the staff made it seamless and had she not said anything we would not have known.
This will exceed your expectations. Trust me.

5.00I was struggling whether I should go before, but once experienced, I did not regret. it's a very pleasant wine tasting experience and you can try all naxos specialty like olive, cheese, biscuit and mystery snack. it's true to say 'don't tell other you've visited Naxos if you did not join this journey.' I got crazy with Sophia and met a lot of new friends in this journey.
Great Time
