A guided tasting of six different Xinomavro bottlings poured side by side at Ktima Kir-Yianni, built to show how the single PDO grape changes across the estate's Naoussa sites and vintages.
Tip: Instant online booking is enabled for this one alone, useful if you are planning around a tight Thessaloniki day-trip schedule.
Address: Yiannakohori, 59200 Naoussa, Imathia, Greece
An e-bike ride through Ktima Kir-Yianni's Yiannakohori vineyard blocks on the eastern slopes of Mount Vermio, an active alternative to a standard walking tour of the estate's Xinomavro parcels.
Tip: Wear closed shoes; the vineyard tracks are unpaved and the e-bikes are shared equipment booked in advance.
A vineyard tour followed by a picnic basket of local Imathia produce and estate wine set up among the vines at Ktima Kir-Yianni, a slower-paced alternative to the indoor tasting room formats.
Tip: Weather-dependent; confirm with the hospitality manager before travelling out from Thessaloniki in case it is moved indoors or rescheduled.
A four-wine guided tasting that sets Ktima Kir-Yianni's Naoussa PDO Xinomavro reds against its Santorini bottlings, built around the producer's two terroirs rather than one region alone.
Tip: Book this one if you already know the Xinomavro style and want the contrast with Assyrtiko instead of a second Naoussa-only flight.
