About
A boutique estate located at the highest point of Skiathos, approximately 100 meters above the historic Prophet Elias church. This elevated position provides a stunning panoramic view of the Aegean Sea and the town below, offering a serene escape amidst the island's lush pine forests. Established by Giannis Parissis, the winery is the realization of a lifelong dream to revive the island's ancient viticultural traditions. The architecture blends modern aesthetics with natural stone, creating a sophisticated tasting room and terrace where visitors can immerse themselves in the island's unique mountain terroir while enjoying the cooling northern breezes.
The winery focuses on high-quality production using indigenous Greek grape varieties such as Roditis, Malagousia, Xinomavro, and the local Limnio. Guests can participate in guided tasting tours that detail the meticulous process of cultivation and vinification, often paired with artisanal local cheeses and appetizers that highlight the wines' distinct Mediterranean character. The staff is highly knowledgeable and passionate, providing an educational and welcoming experience for both casual visitors and dedicated oenophiles. With its commitment to authentic island flavors and its breathtaking hillside setting, Parissis Winery stands as a premier destination for those seeking a refined and cultural experience on Skiathos.
