Rich vineyards on mountainous terrain
Kefalonian Robola is one of the island's most emblematic products and one of the best-known Greek wines with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). This variety is inextricably linked with the history and landscape of Kefalonia.
It is cultivated mainly on mountainous, barren and stony soils in the area of Omala and Troianata, at altitudes reaching up to 800 m. There, the distinctive microclimate and the limestone soils give it its unique character.
The wine stands out for its vibrant acidity, bright golden hue and aromatic richness, with notes of citrus fruit, green apple, peach, pineapple and citron, often accompanied by a subtle minerality. Robola of Kefalonia is considered ideal both as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to seafood, fish, white meats and local cheeses.
Today, Robola is a key export product of Kefalonia, carrying the island's winemaking tradition throughout Greece and abroad.
The visit-worthy vineyards and wineries of the area offer a complete experience of wine tasting and discovering the Kefalonian vineyard. A glass of fresh, chilled Robola is an ideal choice to accompany local Kefalonian dishes such as aliada - a kind of local garlic dip - and meat pies.
