Join us for a very special evening as we welcome Lyrarakis Winery of Crete to the Isle of Man for the very first time, hosted by the wonderful Effie Kallinikidou.

Family-owned and deeply rooted in the island’s winemaking heritage, Lyrarakis Winery is renowned for its pioneering work in reviving rare indigenous Cretan grape varieties such as Vilana, Thrapsathiri and Liatiko. Their wines are a true expression of Crete’s unique terroir — vibrant, characterful and full of Mediterranean charm.

Hosting the evening, Effie Kallinikidou brings a wealth of knowledge, warmth and passion for Greek wine. With her engaging and approachable style, Effie will guide you through each wine, sharing the stories behind the vineyards, the grapes and the traditions that make these wines so special.

Taking place on Saturday 27th June, this is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the flavours of Greece at the height of summer. Guests will enjoy a beautifully curated four-course dinner, with each dish thoughtfully paired to showcase the wines at their very best.
