Lesvos is currently redefining its tourism identity. Today’s travelers are not just looking for a destination—they seek discovery, authentic experiences, active participation, and a deeper understanding of local life.

In this evolving landscape, the integrated wine tourism experience offered by Koin.S.Ep. Ifaisteio Anemotias stands out. Located in the traditional village of Anemotia, this social cooperative invites visitors to its open-to-the-public Cooperative Winery and model organic vineyard—a rare and immersive opportunity on the island.

Visitors from around the world, while vacationing on Lesvos, choose to explore this unique winery. After strolling through the charming alleys of Anemotia, guests are welcomed for a guided tour of the facilities. They learn about the vision behind the cooperative: the revival of the historic Lesvian vineyard, sustainable agroecology, and the regeneration of the local community.

The experience continues in the tasting room and wine cellar, where guests enjoy an interactive tasting of five signature volcanic wines:
Sappho of Eressos, Lapithos, Pelasgian Wine, Red Peaks, Pyrrhaean Wine—crafted exclusively from native grape varieties like Kalloniatiko, Kountoura, Black Muscat, and Fokiano.

Ifaisteio Anemotias is ideal for travelers in search of a complete tourism experience: one that combines a strong local identity, authentic rural landscapes, cultural heritage, festivals, relaxation, exploration, romance, and true connection with the local community. Most importantly, it offers knowledge—hands-on learning about viticulture and organic winemaking practices unique to Lesvos.

In Anemotia, visitors encounter more than just wine. They discover traditional architecture, beautifully carved stone houses, the artistic legacy of the island’s renowned stonemasons, and local gastronomy at its finest in the village tavernas.

The experience is further enriched by participation in annual cultural events—such as the Viticulture Festival, Friendship & Communication Gathering, and The Angels’ Share—as well as open experiential workshops hosted by the local Viticulture Association. These provide genuine contact with local culture and a deeper appreciation of the land and the wine it produces.

The Ifaisteio Anemotias Winery is now a must-visit for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs. With its deep connection to wine, land, and tradition, Anemotia has earned its place as a distinguished stop on Lesvos’ wine tourism map. Every visitor leaves richer—in taste, in memory, and in emotion—with a sense of authentic connection to the people and nature of the island.
