Olive Oil Tour & Tasting Experience at Epirus Vios

Nestled in the heart of Epirus, Greece, Epirus Vios crafts premium extra virgin olive oil that tells the story of its land. Made exclusively from the rare Chondrolia of Igoumenitsa olive—a local variety cherished for its rich aroma, exceptional nutritional value, and balanced flavor—our oil is a true reflection of nature and tradition in harmony.

Each olive is handpicked with care, following age-old practices that honor the trees, the soil, and generations of knowledge. Only the finest fruit is chosen, ensuring purity from the grove to the bottle.

Our oil is cold-extracted to preserve its powerful antioxidants, vivid aromas, and fresh, fruity character. After gentle filtration, it rests in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to maintain peak quality, before being bottled in a certified facility that meets the highest standards of food safety and excellence.

The result? An award-winning olive oil with low acidity, high polyphenols, and a flavor profile that is vibrant, smooth, and unmistakably Greek.

At Epirus Vios, we invite you to experience our heritage firsthand. Visitors enjoy guided tours and curated tastings, where they discover the passion, precision, and patience that go into every bottle.

Rooted in sustainability and inspired by the soul of Epirus, Epirus Vios is more than olive oil—it’s a celebration of authenticity, nature, and tradition. Taste the land. Feel the legacy.
