This tour was incredible. My friend and I had a private cocktail making class with Sophia and had a blast. We laughed, we danced, we sang and got to try different Citrons. I highly recommend this one when you are in Naxos. Sophia and her staff will make you feel like family.

Promponas Distillery was the highlight of our trip to Naxos! Sofia and her family welcomed me and my fiancé in as though we were part of their family. After a tour of the distillery, where we were able to bottle our own citron, we headed to the patio to make three different cocktails. We have been to other cocktail making classes before and this was by far the most fun one we have ever done. Sofia made sure each one of us was having a blast and even got a little competition going between us and the other couple, judging whose cocktails were the best :). We also tasted some citron sweets and snacks to accompany our cocktails, everything was so delicious. After the class we spent the afternoon drinking some more and dancing! We didn’t feel rushed to leave the property at all, the family made us feel so comfortable and even brought out some lemon cello and wine to try as we danced! I could not recommend this tour more. Book it, I promise you won’t regret it!This cocktail making class was such a blast for my husband and I.

This cocktail making class was such a blast for my husband and I. Sofia, whose family owns the distillery and who lead the class, was so energetic and personable right from the very beginning. We learned that this is a new class that the family has added to their list of offerings and we are so glad we picked it! The class starts with a tour and some education about their distillery and what Citron is (which, we learned is unique to Naxos and can only be found on that island -- so cool). Then, we were set up at a beautiful bar with snacks and given tasting of all the different types of citrons. Then Sofia took us through three amazing cocktail recipes that we got to try and "blind judge" to see who did it the best. We had the full distillery to ourselves, and took our time making the cocktails and learning about Naxos, her family and Greece in general - it was truly awesome. Sofia's welcoming extended well beyond the class, as she invited us to her family's Citron shop in the Old Town of Naxos later that night where we got to meet more of her family. We had a car so easily drove there but Sofia was willing to also make transportation arrangements for us that we didn't need. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to try something different on the island!Was an absolutely wonderful experience. Sofia Was very lively, informative and knowledgeable about the distillery as well as how to keep the tour fun and engaging. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good time.

Great experience. Sophie was super friendly, funny and proud when guiding us through her family's distillery. After a short intro on the trees and production process we focused on a tasting of their products (food & drinks) and learned how to mix 3 different cocktails. The place was really nice and all the bar accessories of high quality. We really enjoyed the event in a small group of 4 and had enough time to ask questions and talk with each other. We came with our baby which was no problem at all (no drinks for him ;P ). Clear recommendations and lots of stars.
