One of the best things to do on Naxos!! - We had a great time at the Citron Cocktail Masterclass. Yummy drinks, great music, wonderful snacks, and excellent instruction. This event had everything we were looking for. I would definitely recommend as it was one of the best things we did while on Naxos!

Education, fun, drinking - This was a lovely morning with the host, Sofia. It was part history and part cocktail fun. The brewery tour and vineyard were amazing. We saw the whole process and learned about the protected product and its importance to the island. Seeing how Citron is made from start to finish was great; we even got to fill our bottles to take home.  There is a tasting session at a lovely constructed bar of the three different types of Citron that the brewery produces. Then you get to make three cocktails with them and some traditional snacks in between. It is a lovely activity that left us laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole time with a charismatic host . We recommend that anyone stop by and spend a few hours here. It is well worth the time and money.

Yamas! (Cheers) - The Citron Tasting and Cocktail Class was one of the highlights of our trip to Europe. It was educational, engaging, and a lot of fun. Everyone at Promponas was great, and we could not have had a better time with our guide, Sofia. A truly local experience, Promponas is a family business and we got to meet multiple generations - and they made us feel like family too. The tasty drinks didn't hurt either!

Would do it again, loved it so much - Such a fun experience! The tour was great and the distillery and scenery looked amazing. Thanks a lot to Sofia (with crew) for a fantastic day. Our favorite cocktail was the citron passion and we have already had a session with out family to teach them how to make it as well. 10/10 experience. Thank you so much ❤️

Drink and Dance - We scheduled this tour for our brief stop in Naxos and it is a must do if you will be here for any duration of time. Sophia is incredibly passionate about her family’s business and it shows in the energy she brings to the tour and cocktail making! She does a wonderful job explaining the process of making citron and the cocktail making is full of laughs, food, and dancing. Yamas!

The #1 Excursion on Naxos! - Promponas Distillery was the highlight of our trip to Naxos! Sofia and her family welcomed me and my fiancé in as though we were part of their family. After a tour of the distillery, where we were able to bottle our own citron, we headed to the patio to make three different cocktails. We have been to other cocktail making classes before and this was by far the most fun one we have ever done. Sofia made sure each one of us was having a blast and even got a little competition going between us and the other couple, judging whose cocktails were the best :). We also tasted some citron sweets and snacks to accompany our cocktails, everything was so delicious. After the class we spent the afternoon drinking some more and dancing! We didn’t feel rushed to leave the property at all, the family made us feel so comfortable and even brought out some lemon cello and wine to try as we danced! I could not recommend this tour more. Book it, I promise you won’t regret it!

Best Tour in Naxos! - This tour was incredible. My friend and I had a private cocktail making class with Sophia and had a blast. We laughed, we danced, we sang and got to try different Citrons. I highly recommend this one when you are in Naxos. Sophia and her staff will make you feel like family.
