You will enjoy a guided wine tour at the premises of the vineyard surrounding by acres of vines, you will enjoy different exquisite Greek wines in a modern style wine bar with cheese and cold cuts platters with local gastronomy delicacies. The history of the estate began on March 5, 1994 with the first bottle of Avadis bottled by Grandpa Apostolos.
