We picked our own vegtables and fruits in their garden and met the family burro, along with the other livestock and poultry on this 6th generation farm While the food cooked we walked the land visiting a Byzantine chapel and Venetian tower. Ana also told us of the naming ritual for babies occurring at Baptism and not before. The food was delicious and afterwards we danced and broke plates. It does not get better than this.”

Wine Tasting and Tour in Saint Anna Winery in Naxos

12.Wine Tasting and Tour in Saint Anna Winery in Naxos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 174 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $72

Tour Saint Anna Winery near Naxos Town, taste six local wines with meze, learn family winemaking, and enjoy a warm small-group evening.

“First of all dont trust the GPS coordinates provided on Viator, it will take you to a Melanes backroad to nowhere. Once we got there it was a fun experience, the winery owner shares alot of his history and technicalities of wine making. He provides a nice brief tour of his property which included a small church chapel from the Byzantine era. We didn't actually see the grape vines and Naxos is not known for wine, unlike Santorini, but it was a very enjoyable event with good humor and good food and wine!”
