The vineyards
The scenery
The vineyards are situated in the brown-bear habitat in Metsovo. It is hardly unusual to spot the footprints of bears or their little cubs near the vines. In fact, the local bears used to consume almost one third of the white Traminer grape variety production. Even today bears visit our vineyards and enjoy the grapes of their choice. A stay at the Katogi Averoff hotel & winery is a unique experience; relax in the spacious rooms or retreat to the open fire or in the charming courtyard with its trees and herb gardens. Sample the hotel restaurant with its traditional dishes with locally sourced ingredients. The hotel's fifteen luxuriously appointed rooms enjoy views of the winery and of Metsovo's magnificent scenery. The architecture and interior design exudes discreet luxury and a contemporary aesthetic which nonetheless captures many traditional local features. Welcome to Katogi Averoff!
