Start the appellation beside the Two Rivers forest with a structured introduction to Xinomavro and Negoska
Mikro Ktima Titos is the easiest first cellar for understanding the appellation because it combines a formal visitor programme with an estate setting beside the Sirios river. The winery works with Xinomavro and Negoska for PDO Goumenissa, and the visit can clarify why the blend differs from single-variety Xinomavro tasted elsewhere in Macedonia. Leave time for the forested surroundings rather than arriving only for a glass.
The estate publishes weekday and seasonal Sunday hours, but guided visits should still be reserved. Confirm the language, tour time, number of wines, food and current fee directly. The working route may change during harvest. The website notes accessibility, yet individual needs should be discussed before arrival. Use a designated driver, spit when comparing several wines and transport purchases out of heat rather than leaving bottles in a parked car.
