Olive Oil Tasting Experience at Liotrivi Estate

Nestled in a breathtaking valley of ancient olive groves, just 10 minutes from the legendary Castle of Monemvasia, Liotrivi Organic Estate invites you on a journey through history, tradition, and authentic Greek culture.

Our story begins in Byzantine times when the estate operated as a winery, producing the renowned Malvasia sweet white wine—one of the Mediterranean’s most celebrated vintages. After the Greek Revolution, it became the cherished summer retreat of the esteemed Greek poet Giannis Ritsos, who spent his childhood holidays here. In 1929, the estate was transformed into a traditional olive press, serving the local community in olive oil production until 1967.

Today, Liotrivi Organic Estate stands as a living cultural monument, beautifully restored and dedicated to agrotourism, offering immersive experiences that connect visitors to the region’s rich heritage. From organic, handmade delicacies to interactive activities that bring tradition to life, every moment at Liotrivi is a chance to taste, explore, and relive history.

Step into a world where past and present blend seamlessly—where history, nature, and authentic Greek hospitality await you.
