WINE TASTING

One of the oldest wineries in Corfu is undoubtedly the Theotoky Estate. The Theotoky family used to be one of the most powerful families of Greece and both the father and the grandfather of the current owner, George Theotokis, have served as prime ministers of Greece. The estate has been in the family for many centuries and is situated at the Ropa valley, near Ermones (only a 7 minute drive from Corfu Golf Club). It’s comprised of about 300 acres of mostly olive trees and vineyards but also a pine forest. The Theotoky estate also produces a white and a red wine of exceptional quality. The red is made from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, while the white (which is James Bond’s favourite in “For your eyes only”!) is made of Robolla and Kakotrygis grapes.
