Why visit us?
Located on the Ikarian highlands overlooking the western end of the island the Afianes estate is a place where wine, friends, nature, and tradition come together. The winery spreads across a verdant hilltop interspersed with natural granite stones, and it is a true sanctuary for wine and nature lovers alike.
Visit our estate
The Afianes estate in the Ikarian highlands, overlooking the west of the island, is the point where wine, friends, nature and tradition meet. The winery is open all year round.
• From November 1 to April 31 by appointment
• May to October Tuesday to Saturday 14.00 – 20.00 we recommend a reservation for the best organization of your experience on our part.
Visitors can take a tour of our winery. Our team organizes guided tours every
Tuesday- Saturday at the following times: 16.30 // 18.30 //20.30.
On our guided tours, visitors will immerse themselves in the traditional techniques of Ikarian winemaking, explore the granite press where the grapes are traditionally pressed, walk next to our winery’s wine cellar and visit the stone-built pirate’s house where our aged wines are kept . The premises of our winery include the granite amphitheater “Dionysos” where events are organized throughout the summer and the folklore area with exhibits that have been donated by beloved villagers, friends and relatives and refer to the daily life of the Ikarian family of the previous century . At the end of each tour there is a tasting of fresh and aged wines in order to get to know our philosophy not only about winemaking but about life itself.
As a continuation of this unique experience, you can enjoy a glass of wine at the outdoor Wine Bar of our winery overlooking the Aegean and taste platters and dishes of the day from Maria’s traditional kitchen with local products. In addition, there is the option to purchase wines from our collection from the winery shop.
