If you’re a wine connoisseur, Kefalonia’s Robola wine will win you over. Locals carefully grow and mature this variety in a way that has made them famous for the quality wines produced. The Omala Valley of Kefalonia is the island’s primary wine-region, and most vineyards and wineries are clustered around St. Gerasimos Monastery. Most are open to the public so you’ll be able to take an informative tour and learn more about this interesting process. Minies, Omalon and Pessada villages are known for their mouth-watering Robola varieties, as are wineries around Lixouri.
