Highlights
Description
In the charming village of Vouves, lies a remarkable natural treasure - the world's oldest olive tree. This ancient marvel, proclaimed as a natural monument, continues to thrive even after an estimated 3000 to 5000 years. It started as a wild olive tree, until it was embraced and cultivated by humans through the Tsounati variety. The timeless sculpture-like bole of this tree stands proud with a circumference of 12.5 meters and a diameter of 4.6 meters, a testament to the passage of time and the resilience of nature.
The winery, situated just 6 kilometers outside the charming town of Kissamos, in the picturesque Drapanias village, combines passion, experience, and tradition to produce exceptional wines. Our ultramodern facilities are where innovation meets time-tested methods, resulting in a diverse range of high-quality wines. From the refreshing Vilana and Vidiano to the unique flavors of Plyto, Wjite Romeiko, and Moschato of Spina, our winery offers something for every palate. Whether you prefer red, white, rose, dry, semi-dry, sweet, or semi-sweet wines, our extensive collection is sure to satisfy your taste buds. Additionally, our wine museum on the upper floor showcases exhibits that delve into the rich history of winemaking, the production of raki, and the daily lives of previous generations on the beautiful island of Crete.
