We will visit the lovely traditional village of Embona. This mountain village is the capital of the wine industry in Rhodes. Embona Village may not have any picturesque architectural features, however, it is one of the most popular suggestions for a trip inland in Rhodes that combines folklore, a lively atmosphere, and good food.
We will stop at least at three different winery producers and you will be able to taste a big variety of fresh wines. At each stop, you may be given small portions of appetizers like olives, cheese and home-baked bread from the region to compliment your taste of the wine.

The wine tasting is absolutely free and you aren’t obliged to purchase anything. Of course, a bottle of wine will be a wonderful souvenir from Rhodes, or maybe a bottle of local olive oil with no conservatives, or just a small bag of mountain herbs for your tea in the winter. All products are fully natural and with origin from this gorgeous mountain village.

Duration: 2 hours
