Wine & Food Pairing Suggestions
Wine always tastes better with the right food — and we’ve carefully selected the perfect combinations from our menu to enhance your experience:
White Wines
Fresh, crisp, and aromatic, our white wines pair beautifully with seafood dishes like grilled octopus, calamari, shrimp linguine, or the seafood risotto. They also complement refreshing salads such as the “Saronia” or “Mediterranean.” Assyrtiko (Atlantis – Argyrou, Santorini), Malagouzia, or Monemvasia (Odd Blend – Naxos) elevate vegetable dishes, eggplant salad, or anything with Xynomyzithra cheese.
Rosé Wines
Fruity and light, rosés are the perfect match for our mezze, like Naxian wild greens pies, spicy cheese dip, or grilled mushrooms. They also go well with dishes like the chicken souvlaki or our Mediterranean chicken salad. Local rosés made from Fokiano grapes, such as the “Kori” or “Fokiano Rosé,” reflect the Cycladic soul of our cuisine.
Red Wines
Rich and structured, our red wines like “Kouros” (Saint Anna Winery – Naxos), Aghiorgitiko (Nemea – Aivali Estate), or Xinomavro (Naousa Alta – Thymiopoulos) are ideal with hearty meat dishes such as our Naxian ribeye steak, beef orzo, or lamb fricassee. They also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses and robust starters like the pork stew with beer and rosemary.
Sparkling Wines
Our Pet Nat selections (white or rosé) are perfect as an aperitif. They pair well with lighter fried bites like our sesame-crusted feta with honey or the scrambled eggs with Xynomyzithra.
