Wine Routes On The Beautiful Hills Of Kefalonia

Robola is a local grape variety used to produce most of the island’s quality white wines. Robola had been mentioned in historical texts as early as the 12th century and was most likely brought to the island by the Venetians. The largest plantations are
located in areas between 500 and 800 meters above sea level, in the area of the Omala Valley near the Monastery of St. Gerasimus. There is a winery, Robola Wine Cooperative, where you can taste all the wines they produce, any day of the week.
Robola is of protected geographical origin. Other autochthonous species are Vostilids and Mavrodaphni. You can visit the wineries on your own or as part of an organized tour. We recommend Sarris Winery as well as Gentilini Winery. The Kefalonia Wine Tour brings innovation to alternative tourism, offering group and private tours. As you’re tasting Robola and other wines of protected geographical origin, winegrowers, and sommeliers will introduce you to different grape varieties and explain how wine is produced.

Kefalonia, Gastronomy, and Traditional Cuisine

In addition to tourism, the local population is also engaged in agriculture. Thanks to fertile soil and the Mediterranean sun, Cephalonia is a producer of extremely high-quality olive oil, feta cheese, wines, and premium-quality honey. Thanks to the sea, the island is the largest producer and exporter of fish from Greece. Cephalonia has a variety of garlic, peas, lentils, and strawberries. The main diet of the islanders is based on asparagus, small “moropoula” zucchini, green beans, Swiss chard, and various types of leafy green vegetables. Most produced spices are rosemary, thyme, and marjoram. Don’t miss the opportunity to search the market for wild oregano, an indispensable ingredient in Greek salad in this region. Approximately 1,200 families breed sheep and goats, which produce up to 45 tons of milk per day. This milk is used to produce feta cheese, mizithra, manouri (soft and semi-soft fresh cheeses), kefalotiri, graviera (hard cheeses), and prentza (a mixture of cheeses with thyme and oil). However, the “king” of cheeses is undoubtedly feta, produced annually in the amount of about 4,000 tons. Four liters of milk are needed for each kilogram of this cheese. Be sure to look for these cheeses in one of the local shops, and try them with wonderful local wines.
