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.

This olive oil tasting tour welcomes visitors with a refreshing summer drink infused with local herbs. Your journey begins with a historical insight into the rare Chondroelia of Igoumenitsa olive variety — native to the Epirus region and perfectly adapted to its rugged beauty and rich soil.
