Guided Tours and Activities
Plan Your Visit
Vines on rolling hills in the shadow of the majestic Vermion mountain. This idyllic scenery blessed by nature is the home of Kir-Yianni Estate, one of the most renowned Greek wineries around the world. Located in Naoussa in Northern Greece, a city that is known as the heartland of the celebrated red variety of Xinomavro, it is just a 90-minute drive from Thessaloniki.
Arriving at Kir-Yianni is very much like stepping into a vibrant, openhearted world of authentic charm, unpretentious elegance, and a cool adventurous spirit seeking to exploring both long-lasting traditions and inspiring possibilities of Greek wines; traits growing out from the iconic founder Yiannis Boutaris and his son Stellios, 5th generation winemaker, that carries on and, most importantly, recreates this outstanding heritage for the last two decades.
Our Wine Tourism facilities offer a variety of experiences (guided tours, wine tastings, restaurant, picnics, e-biking, walking trails etc).
We are open throughout the year, offer free parking and full accessibility for people with disabilities.
