    We had a wonderful visit to the olive oil estate and booked a picnic/oil/wine tasting experience. The four of us were hosted by Helene, a wine and oil sommelier who walked us around the estate explaining the olive oil growing and manufacturing process. We then adjourned to some small tables and benches set amidst the olive trees for our tasting and picnic. The food-Greek salad, charcuterie, crostini, fruit and more -was an ample lunch and was paired with 3 local wines. The experience was absolutely magical and it was so great meeting and talking with Helena. After a leisurely lunch we were then guided to the gift shop where it was possible to enjoy free tastes of almost everything else, even though we were quite full from lunch. I’d definitely recommend this experience to take a break and enjoy Greek food and drink.
