Few words about us...

The story of PROMPONAS family manufacture, started on the beginning of the previous century, when in 1915 Dimitris Promponas decided to produce and bottle the "Naxos Citron" local liquer. During the difficult years of war, Promponas family struggled for the successful continuation of the project. Later, Stamatis Promponas, son of Dimitris, takes over company management. With the valuable help and support of his wife Sofia the Citron Production saw an exponential growth, augmented cumulative sales and product demand reached the highest peak. By using his restless spirit and edless passion for expansion, he founded in 1978 the Winery, together with the manufacture of traditional preserved jars of spoon sweets, and became the first to produce the unique crunchy cherry sweet in entire Naxos Island. Today his daughters Katerina and Lina, continue the company legacy. By having their culture and family tradition as a set of values, they try to give to the world the most fresh ideas according today's demands.
