At Dimitri's Farm, the year unfolds in a beautiful harmony of tradition and nature, where students learn the rhythms of the land season by season.In the early winter, from January through February, the farm focuses on the vineyard. Students help prune the grapevines and work on enriching the soil with natural fertilizers.
As spring arrives in March and April, the work expands. The land is prepared for planting, and trees are trimmed. Students actively participate in tilling the soil by hand and incorporating compost, along with farm-made compost teas fueled by the farm's sheep, goats, chickens, and donkeys.
As budding begins, natural pest control methods, like milk whey, are applied, and thinning out the vines ensures the grapes get the right amount of sun and air.
Early summer brings the first grape harvest in July, starting with Muscat grapes, followed by the fig harvest, which continues through October and involves sun-drying them. During this time, wine testing and bottling of the previous year's vintage take place.
As autumn arrives, focus shifts to the olive harvest. The large eating olives are placed in brine, while the Coroneiki olives are picked and community-pressed daily to create fresh, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil.
Finally, in late November, the cycle comes full circle as sheep graze through the vineyards, eating fallen leaves and fertilizing the soil before the winter break.
"100% all natural wine" generally refers to wine made with the absolute minimum of intervention both in the vineyard and the cellar. While there is no single, globally agreed-upon legal definition for "natural wine," the term usually implies the purest form of this philosophy.
Key characteristics that define this approach often include:
All Naturally Grown and Produced in the context of eco-tourism, our offerings include Natural Wine, Aged Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, fresh Fruits and Vegetables, Goat cheese, Herbs and Spices, Olives, and Sun Dried Figs. These products reflect the principles of sustainable agriculture, making them a perfect fit for those interested in study abroad in Greece, where such practices thrive.
How many natural winery's are there worldwide?
Given the criteria of 100% all natural (meaning {zero} additives, including {zero} added {SO}_2), the number of winemakers who commit to this standard for all of their production is likely only a few hundred to a thousand worldwide.
These producers operate on an artisanal scale, often with small harvests, and their wines are not widely distributed through conventional channels. They are focused on expression of terroir and non-interventionism, which is a niche philosophy within the global wine industry.

Nikita’s Village is an eco-tourism project located on the island of Lipsi, Greece, one of the smaller islands in the Dodecanese chain. This initiative serves as an extension of the sustainable agriculture practices at Dimitri’s Farm, which has been thriving for hundreds of years. Since its successful revival in 2012, the farm has welcomed over 1,500 students, participants, and volunteers, making it a popular destination for those interested in study abroad Greece programs. The farm is set on 24,000 square meters and is located just four kilometers from the main village.
The project encompasses a multi-functional communal building designed primarily for culinary workshops that utilize organic produce from the farm and other locally sourced products. Additionally, it features five traditional stone homes that welcome international participants year-round, making it a prime destination for eco-tourism. Furthermore, there is a structure dedicated to housing students from around the globe, focusing on fields such as sustainable agriculture, permaculture, and environmental protection, while also providing opportunities for study abroad in Greece.
Several farm buildings to shelter and feed sheep, goats, donkeys, and chickens support an eco-tourism initiative. The principal role of the project is three-fold: to reconnect man with nature through the awareness and practice of sustainable agriculture and cooking, building with natural materials (local stone and earth), using local artisans, and drawing from vernacular building materials; to promote responsible tourism, particularly for those interested in study abroad Greece.
