Karimalis Winery & Farmhouse Restaurant
Intro
The estate operates as an agritourism unit, amidst organic vineyards, with an emphasis on sustainability and ecology.
Estate
Karimalis Winery & Farmhouse Restaurant is located in the village of Pigi in Ikaria. The Karimalis family revived the 500-year-old family vineyard in 1999, returning from Athens to honor the island's tradition with respect and love for the land.
Vineyards
The winery produces organic PGI Ikaria wines, with a minimal-intervention approach. Winemaking relies on indigenous yeasts, while the lees are returned to the soil to maintain sustainability and the natural cycle.
Tourism

Cooking classes with fruits & vegetables from the estate's garden. Dinners with sunset views. Cultural events: theatrical performances, live music nights, weddings, and social events within the vineyard.
