The programme
True to the vision of its founder, Evangelos Averoff, Katogi Averoff continues to operate ‘with reason and dream,’ focusing on the younger generation. We are introducing an innovative training programme aimed at getting young visitors excited about the vineyard and wine, and introducing them to the world of winemaking through science experiments. The educational activities were designed by The Educational Approaches to Virtual Reality Technologies Laboratory of the University of Ioannina, directed by Professor Anastasios Mikropoulos, and his team.
The programme unfolds along two main lines: The first part comprises experiments directly or indirectly related to vinification, employing STEAM educational approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics), focusing on original activities using an engineering methodology.
The second part of the programme is an interactive experience serving as an introduction to wine tasting principles and flavours.
