- DutchDiverFrankFerndown, United Kingdom841 contributionsWas nice to stop but I wouldn’t go backStopped here on a Tui tour for wine, olive and honey tasting. But there was no olive or honey to be seen. 4 small pours of wine and 2 weren’t good and it was over. Then they tried to sell there lotions hard and I never saw the olives, bread or honey that was supposed to be part of the experience.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 25 October 2023
- Karen_Ballymoney13 contributionsA really enjoyable day from start to finish!!! 1st Class!!!!This place is amazing! We stopped off here, by chance, on one of our road trips and we were really surprised by the friendliness of the owner, his wife and children. We sampled everything he had on offer (greedy bunch we are). It was a great day all in all and needless to say between the 4 of us we purchased the cheese, wine, coffee liquor, olive oil, honey and jam which we brought home and all tastes as delicious as on the day we sampled it. There are loads of souvenirs here at great prices and a typical old Greek house where you can take pictures. The owner was fantastic and explaining the process of all his products, we found very interesting indeed. I say this is a must for anyone to visit even for a few sips of wine with no pressure from the owners to buy anything.....Visited July 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 24 July 2024
- Becky ILondon, United Kingdom36 contributionsA must visit for oil, honey, wine and beauty product tasting / testing by excellent hosts. Can’t recommend enough!We were recommended this place by a local chef and it certainly did not disappoint. A very large selection of gifts, sweets and local beauty products are available. But the tastings are unmissable. We started with 10 different olive oils and had the process of cold pressing explained to us. The oils were so good we bought 4 varieties including pine olive oil which was new to us. Then we moved on to honey and jam tasting and again we couldn’t resist buying 2 jars. Moving on to wine we tried 7 wines and ended up buying 5 different varieties between our group. After some spirits and a further exploration of all the interesting presses, corkscrews and other bits we finished with a hand and body cream testing session. They were so good that we then bought more products there! The couple who run this are absolutely lovely and very passionate about what they do. I would definitely recommend a visit and I hope one day to go back. Thank you for hosting us!Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 28 August 2024

This place is a wine and local products theme shop not a winery. You can try the wines they stock but they don’t make them and it’s a bit of a mystery as to who does.
It’s a pretty place, they have an old souma still, a replica traditional Greek house and some stuffed donkeys, but you are here to taste and buy olive oil, wine, honey and souvenirs. The second white I tried here is an athiri and sauvignon blanc blend, the bottle is adorned with award stickers but they’re not awards that are recognised for anything other than advertising local wines and look carefully and the bottle label has Tsoukalas Winery on it. Look up that winery, it’s nowhere to be found. The only description given by the waitress was the grape blend. It’s OK to sell wines you don’t make but I think this place is passing itself off as a winery when it’s really a theme shop with life size fluffy donkey mannequins. The wines are also about 6 euros too much given that you can get a better Greek wine for €6 than any they have for sale at €12. It’s feels like a bit of a con really. You can go further into town and get a tour of an actual winery that makes their own wine, see how they do it, taste better wine and have someone explain to you how it’s made. Two stars only because the “traditional Greek house was interesting and the cats that lounge about the place a very cute”.

Dear Mr Jason. Thank you very much for writting to us. It would be useful before you put forward this opinion for us to check the available information or make a further research for our business. We respect your opinion for our wines, After all is not necessary everyone to like our wines . Wine is a subjective product based on everyone's taste.
Of course CAVA STAFYLOS is not a winery. Its the sale spot of our wines and rest of the local products we have. The name of our winery is TSOUKALAS WINERY (as you read on the bottle) and the place we produce our wines is located into the village of Embona.At CAVASTAFYLOS we only sale the wines and do the tasting! Our winery is new , started for first time at 2017. We cultivate our own vineyards and make the wines ourselves, no one makes them for us( as you wrote to your review).We produce PGI DODECANESE wines(Protected Geografical Indication) and also table wines(these who doesn't mention grape varieties on the label because of the greek legislation). We have no big experience yet but we try every year to be better and better. We produce a small amount of bottles every year, and thats the reason that the production and packaging costs maybe are little bit high for you. We accept your review, we keep on mind and we hope to improve our benefits to our customers in the future.
Here are some links that you can check some more information about us and our winery:

Kind regards,
Antonis

Like many places in Embonas for wine tasting all have a unique experience and here they have a great experience for tourists to try. Apart from wine they sell olives soap etc and other little souveniers. The small traditional Greek house to peruse is lovely. The staff are welcoming and friendly and if your a coach load or just a few people they give a great service on your wine tasting experience.

As part of an Island Tour we stopped off at Stafylos Winery for a spot of Wine & Olive Oil Tasting. Good number of both Wines & Oils to try and a nice little Winery where you can buy Wines, Olive Oil as well as a number of other souvenirs of your visit.

I bought a bottle of lovely red wine from here, based on the tasting. They also have these great honey and sesame seed coated peanuts. I also got some olive oil and donkey milk based body lotion, works wonderfully.
