We popped by on our way from Gythio to Monemvasia without a booking, and Barbara kindly gave us an informative and interesting tour and wine tasting. We loved seeing the cellar and behind the scenes of the whole wine making process. All the wines we tried were fantastic, and picked up a couple of bottles to enjoy for the rest of our Peloponnese trip. Highly recommend! Reservations can be made on their website.

Our visit to the winery was an excellent experience! Guided tour and tasting led by the friendly, smiling and knowledgeable Varvara! All wines are top quality (I personally singled out Kydonitsa) at affordable prices and for all tastes. Very nice effort by the Tsimpidis family, approachable and polite people with a passion for wine that deserves to be supported! I highly recommend it!

We booked a visit in advance and had a fantastic time during wine tour and tasting. Monemvasia Winery is based in new location (they moved to a new place). Facilities are modern and good-looking. Our guide Dora was super-friendly and knowledgeable and we genuinely did not want to leave! She took us for a walk around the property and we had a chance to look at the staff labelling wines and also visit gorgeous cellar while listening about the history of the winery with some fascinating facts about Monemvasia-Malvasia and other Greek wines. All wines we tried were simply delicious, accompanied with local produce. We wanted to buy all bottles. Fantastic place for wine lovers, do not miss it when you're around.

Astonishingly accommodating, friendly, and fun. We messed up the booking on our end and the delightful tasting guide squeezed us in on less than 30 minutes' notice. The winery is equal parts charming and chic, the tasting itself is generously priced. Visit this place if at all possible.

Excellent tour, wines one better than the other and they went above and beyond to make my partner's birthday special. To get there you need a taxi but it's worth it, I highly recommend it. Thank you! Malvasia wonderful ❤️

An excellent winery with great wines and modern facilities. Its friendly staff helped us to get to know the winery and its wines better through the tour and tasting. In conclusion, I would like to say that it was one of the best tastings I have ever done as each new wine I tried was better than the previous one
