At Acheon Winery in Aegialia, Peloponnese, this 5.5-hour vineyard picnic and wine tasting experience is the most relaxed and comprehensive way to enjoy the Katsikostas family’s mountain wines, combining an outdoor picnic with a full wine education session in the Peloponnesian landscape.
The Katsikostas family began producing wine in 1946, when grandfather Lucas Katsikostas started making wine from the native varieties of mountainous Aegialia and storing it in wooden barrels close to the port of Aegio.
Oenologist Sosana Katsikosta and her brother Lucas, the family’s third generation, took charge of the business in 2004. The slopes stretch from Aegira to Labiri and from the foot of Kalavrita at altitudes from 300 to 1,000 m.
After a 15 km drive from Aegio, guests walk a 4 km dirt path through vineyards, reaching the plateau summit at 850 meters with panoramic views over the Corinthian Gulf.
