Amazing experience
This experience was lots of fun, Sophia made it so. Highly recommend everyone gives this a try with a friend or a group of friends. Recommend transfer option or a taxi to let your hair down and thoroughly enjoy this experience. We walked away with many goodies from the shop afterwards and will continue to spread the word. I would come back and do it all over again next time I visit. (I don’t recommend walking or bus options)

20/10! And must do in Naxos!
We give this experience a 20/10! Sophia was a delightful and entertaining guide and teacher. The setting was beautiful. We learned about the family history of the distillery and the cocktail class was so much fun with music and dancing. Leave room in your luggage…they have many beautiful options in the Citron boutique to purchase take away. The location is approx 1 mile from town with no convenient bus stop. Will require taxi (we paid €20 each way from Naxos town). If you have time in Naxos we would highly recommend this experience!

Fun, engaging, and warm!
If you're looking for a memorable experience in Naxos, put this tour on your list. Sure, there may be other great tours on the island, but this one would be very hard to beat. We were given a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at this historic citron distillery, including the grounds, production areas, and the distillery itself. We even had the chance to get involved and try our hand at pressing citron the traditional way. Then came the highlight: a guided tasting of several citron varieties, liqueurs, and cocktails, all thoughtfully paired with an outstanding selection of local cheeses and charcuterie. And they certainly don't skimp on the portions. Everything was enjoyed on a shaded outdoor patio, with a gentle breeze, beautiful surroundings, and the aromas of the distillery in the air. As fantastic as the tour and tasting were, the true star of the experience was our hostess, Margariti Sofia. She manages the operation and represents the next generation of the family behind the distillery. Warm, witty, knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what she does, she brings the entire experience to life. In an age where many tours can feel scripted, Sofia is refreshingly authentic, approachable, and full of energy. By the end of the visit, it felt less like a tour and more like being welcomed into someone's home and family tradition. I felt like I gained a sister, or maybe a daughter! I couldn't recommend this experience more highly. And while you're in Naxos, don't forget to stop by their shop in town as well.

A fun experience in Naxos
We went to the citron tour with our college aged children. Sophia was a wonderful guide. She gave us the history of the family business as well as guided us through the tastings as they were paired with “snacks” . She was kind enough to ask for allergies among the group as well and made accommodation for those with restrictions . She was witty, energetic, and passionate about the family business. We had a great time and definitely recommend for young adults and older.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naxos.
How much does Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass cost?
+
Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naxos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naxos is not rushed.
Is Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Naxos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naxos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naxos and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass start and how do I get there?
+

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naxos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naxos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
