However, until its relatively recent past and despite its small size, it was a thriving agricultural and productive society.

The bright exception is the Patoinos<\/a> estate, an ambitious and romantic initiative. Through this initiative and in an area of about 20 hectares, a model biodynamic cultivation based on old varieties of vines that thrive in the island climate has been attempted in recent years. The estimate of the people of Patoinos is to reach an annual production of about 7,000 bottles. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/allaboutpatmos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/patoinos_slide1_1.jpg\")

Two things are very interesting here: firstly, the taste of these products, as they are mostly grown as naturally as possible, and secondly, that most of the inhabitants are willing to show how hospitable they are. They will proudly offer you to sample the fruits of their labour and if their production is sufficient, they can even supply you with small quantities for your own needs. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
