THE GARDEN OF LOVE

During the Birth Rite, the spouses enter the garden of love and water the rooted cuttings after having delicately planted it in a vase made from a barrique. The magic of love dwells in this place.
THE WINERY OF ZAKYNTHOS

It is located in the heart of the central body of the farm and consists of two large starry vaulted halls of about 90 square meters each.

THE DOOR OF DIONYSUS
It is the place where the most important rite of the Wine Wedding celebration takes shape, the Rite of Dionysus. Here there are white benches where guests sit with a splendid view of the Conca D’oro. It is here under the two stone pillars that lead to the vineyard that the spouses combine the masses of wine they have chosen, creating that unique wine that will represent their love.
