You feel like you’re a part of the family! They were very generous with the tastings, and the snack pairings were perfect. The liquors were delicious and we actually learned a lot about citron, the distilling process, and a little bit of general facts on Naxos. So much fun for a group of friends, family, or couple. The tour is a small group so you get a very intimate experience. Highly recommend!”
