Description

Meeting point in Dafnes village. We meet the wine-maker and the road trip begins throughout the landscapes of Dafnes consisting of beautiful vineyards and olive trees.
The terroir of the area has small white hills with slopes at an altitude of 400 meters.
On the route, we can see Kani Kastelli the bloody village with a long history.
Next to the village is Historic Rock.
A huge rock with great historical significance. Northwest, we arrive in our private vineyards area called Afousa. The vineyards and olive trees are spread amphitheatrically around the mountain. 
In Afousa we see the beautiful gorge of Zoudianos (my great-father) and on the lower side, there is a river with a small waterfall.
In the holes of the gorge, we will admire the rare species of vultures, the herds consist of 11 birds that live in the caves of the mountain.
We are going to have lunch in the vineyards under the shadow of a tree 300 years old where our family used to rest during the handmade work in the vineyards.
After the wine-tasting experience with the meal, we are going to get back in the village.
