The Katogi Averoff winery is in Metsovo, a mountain village built some 1100 metres above sea-level. The oldest parts of the winery date back to 1973, when work began on a new building required to cover the company's ever-increasing production needs. Its cellars can boast over 1200 oak barrels in which our red wines mature, while the winery shop offers rare and collectible bottles of wine for sale from its 1974 vintage on. A guided tour of the winery employs a range of audio-visual media to offer the visitor an original introduction to wine production and the history of the winery, and is rounded off with tastings of a selection of Katogi Averoff wines.

If you’re a lover of wines and visiting Metsovo, the Katogi Averoff vineyard is a must see. Located on the original site founded by Evangelos Averoff in 1959, and renovated by his son in law in 2008, the tour and wine tasting takes about an hour and is still a family run affair. The tour is free and there is an additional charge of approximately 3 Euros per 50ml wine sampled, with no limit on how many you can try! The lovely Lena guides you through the tour, giving a detailed introduction on the background, the grapes grown at the incredibly high altitude and the processes used to produce a relatively wide selection. Our favourites were the limited harvest Flogero (Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon) and the Inima (Negoska), both reds. It was an added pleaser to meet Alexander Averoff, grandson of the founder. Although you don’t get to see the nitty gritty of production, the tour covers all areas and ends in the well stocked gift shop where you can buy various sizes of all wines, along with vinophile paraphernalia and locally produced artisan food.

Very beautiful hilly landscapes with the mountains in the background, a lot of animal herds and some nice photo-taking spots :) We simply drove around the lake, admiring it and its lovely colour - we started from Metsovo. The road is mostly ok, averagely difficult in some short regions, but it is really manageable.

This passage is dangerous and notorious for cars, but very beautiful and relaxing if you go for hiking, picnic or exploring.

We stopped in this little mountain village on our trip to Lefkada. It is charming! The food is fantastic at any tavern and the landscape is fantastic! It's an hour trip by car to Meteora.
