Wine tasting, tours, authentic hospitality.
Wine, honey, greengrocery, dairy products made in the organic farm Mykonos Vioma.
In the vineyard we have –with much love- sown the traditional Aegean-sea varieties
Asytriko, Athiri, Monemvasia, Malagouzia, Agiannitis and Mandilaria.
The arrangement of the vines in the field is linear with a distance of two meters in between
the vine roots and among the cultivating rows. The vines are cup-shaped and face the South.
The yield is small, just 350 kg/hectare. This is due to the fact that the vines are not watered
and their needs are covered by the moisture of the atmosphere, mostly carried by the sea
breeze.
The cultivation is organic, bio-dynamic, based on the principles of Rudolph Steiner. Thanks to
the microclimate of the region –strong north winds and lack of water- and due to the rich
ingredients of the soil, remaining free of chemicals, pesticides and intensive cultivation, we
produce healthy grapes of a superior taste and quality. The traditional Aegean-sea grape
varieties are totally compatible with the existing climatic conditions.
Weeds are extinguished with the co-operation of sheep. Concurrently with the
disappearance of the wild greens, the sheep offer their valuable manure to enrich the soil.
Green is dominant in the vineyard in contrast with the dry setting of Mykonos. Vision is
captured by the colourful creations of artists and schoolchildren of Mykonos, who have
painted old wooden doors and window panes. These, apart from their artistic value, serve to
protect the vines from the strong northern winds, so frequent in the Cycladic islands.
The visitor’s promenades and the workers’ daily duties are accompanied by the sounds of
classical music, which is diffused through speakers situated around the estate. Studies show
that plants, and especially grapes, correspond very positively to good quality music and
become healthy and vigorous.
