Activities at Daphnes and in the area

Wine tasting and wine tours

Chilly August is a small business created to share the experience of Greek wine in a relaxed and welcoming way. Through tastings, dining, and tours, we explore the flavors of Zakynthos — one sip at a time.
After three summers of hosting wine events, Panagiotis Tsilimigras started Chilly August to share his love and knowledge of wine with others.

Taste iconic Greek wines, explore different grape varieties, and learn how to enjoy wine like a pro. Discover the history, geography, and wine making techniques behind every sip.

Pair your glass with local flavors, share stories, and get to know Greece’s rich viticultural heritage — a little history, a little geography, and plenty of great wine!

Join a tasting at Daphnes villas or go on a wine tour and discover other parts of Zakynthos.
