About the Experience
A hosted experience on our beautiful veranda exploring of vertical tasting of the label, “Barrel Fermented Savatiano”. The tour begins with a walk by the vineyard with a brief description of cultivation methods, followed by a tour of the winery and barrel cellar with an explanation of winemaking techniques. The available vintages are 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. Savatiano is the indigenous variety of the region of Attica. Half of the fermentation takes place in stainless tanks and the other half in French acacia barrels, where it remains for 5-6 months with the lees. The final product is a blend of 70% 1st use and 30% 2nd use barrels. By participating in the vertical tasting, the visitors have the opportunity to identify differences and similarities between the vintages and discover the evolution of the wine in the bottle. The tasting is accompanied by grissini, cheeses from various regions of Greece and charcuterie.

Kokotos Estate
Our story began in the late 1970s. The Kokotos family decided to abandon city life and settle near the village of Stamata where they could live closer to nature. On the northern slopes of Mount Pendeli, where in ancient times the god of wine Dionysus was worshipped, Anne and George Kokotos created a model vineyard, planting their first vines in 1980. In the estate’s organic vineyards both international and indigenous varieties are cultivated with care. The aim is to produce fine wines in which each grape reaches the full expression of its varietal characteristics. Today, we welcome wine lovers from all over the world to taste our wines and become part of our story...
