Flavours of Corfu: Private Olive Oil & Wine Tasting Tour

Hop on your private, comfy, air-conditioned vehicle and kick off your palatable journey in order to explore Corfu’s flavours like a local. This private half-day tour pledges to offer a unique combined experience of olive oil and wine tasting, the 2 most exquisite and reputable products of Corfu.

Your day starts with a visit to the family-owned olive mill which dates back to the 15th century. Embrace the guided tour offered by the “Dafnis Family” and discover the multiple times and globally awarded extra virgin olive oil known as “The Governor”, which, according to recent studies, has high content in polyphenols, thus earning the designation of an olive oil with “Health Claim”. Meet your guide and the producers and discover the secrets behind the oil-making process from its production and processing to its standardisation. Of course, do not forget the best part of your visit; the tasting experience! Sample the “liquid gold” and let your palate experiment with olive oil food pairs of local delights such as bruschetta with freshly-picked tomatoes and Greek feta cheese, accompanied with a glass of wine. This olive oil tasting tour includes, also, a participation in a workshop where guests gain a true insight of how to distinguish the qualitative features of an excellent extra virgin olive oil.

Embark your vehicle again, this time heading to the wine tasting tour. Continue your private tour into the flavours of Corfu in “Theotoky Estate” where you can have the ultimate wine-tasting experience. Being one of the oldest wineries in Greece, Theotoky Estate is a remarkable place, not only for its natural surroundings but also for its library, museum, cellar, etc. Enjoy a guided tour through the vineyard encompassed with pine trees and centenarian olive trees, and get to know the wine-making process, from grape harvesting, to vinification and bottling, with a visit to the production areas and the cellar. Sample the finest collection of local wines, listen to the stories of one of the most important families in Corfu and indulge yourself in a fascinating wine-tasting experience.

Having tasted Corfu’s exquisite flavours, get back on your private vehicle and travel back to your Corfu hotel or your cruise ship!
