Since ancient times, neither the method of production nor the quality of Ikaria wine, the world-famous and often award-winning \u201cPramnios Oinos\u201d, has changed. The special quality of the grapes, the climate, the soil, the stone vats in which the grapes are crushed with bare feet and the clay amphorae left in the ground for storage give this wine its incomparable aroma and quality.<\/p>\n

From Faros to the Kavos Pappa lighthouse, from Proespera to Kampa, all the Icariotes are just waiting for the right time. Some measure sugar content, while others simply taste a ripe grape. For the most experienced, a knowing look at the vineyards is enough. September is the month of the grape harvest, which begins first in the hotter, coastal regions.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A month of strong agricultural activity and passionate discussions from all local agricultural experts! After the discussions, planning begins. It is important to find friends and perhaps even paid workers to harvest the ripe grapes. The traditional “Allaksa<\/a>“, a form of division of labor, still works: those who help their friends or neighbors with the harvest can, in turn, count on their support with their own harvest. Unskilled as well as experienced specialists, old and young people, theorists as well The self-taught people all come to the vineyard armed with a basket and a pair of wine scissors to help.<\/p>\n

Oh what an unforgettable experience! When you are sticky from the top of your head to the soles of your feet with the sweet juice of wine and your own sweat from work and the wasps form a threatening cloud around you! Who cares about a few stitches when the whole job is like a Dionysian feast? When Mother Nature’s unwavering provision and traditional work bind people together so happily, any unnecessary disruption to the magical atmosphere is avoided.<\/p>\n<\/div>
