The aim of Oinoxeneia is to introduce visitors to local wine production and gastronomy through local experiences in a natural setting.

As part of 10-year celebrations, organizers will present Oinoxeneia’s renewed identity and the new Oinoxeneia Quality Network which will be active year round with wine, food, tourism and culture events. The 16-day Oinoxeneia 2023 will focus activities on Wine and Gastronomy, Wine and Nature, and Wine and Culture.

For the first time this year, as of August 1, “Oinoxeneia News” will circulate in the wider region as free press informing visitors about events, wine routes, places to eat, and guesthouses, among others.

Oinoxeneia kicks off on August 19 in the town of Aigio with a music and wine ‘pairing’ event that will offer visitors the chance to sample local wines according to style of music preference. Additionally, a wine masterclass will take places in the square of Valimi village to be followed by a tour of Tsivlou Lake.
