FOLLOWING LONDON AND PARIS, CHÂTEAU MINUTY BRINGS THE RIVIERA VIBE FOR A SECOND YEAR WITH 'VILLA MINUTY', AN EXCLUSIVE POP-UP WINE EXPERIENCE BAR AT DAIOS COVE. JULY 2 - SEPTEMBER 13
OPEN PHOTO GALLERYVilla Minuty brings the effortless elegance and art de vivre of the French Riviera to Daios Cove, transforming one of the most enchanting destinations in the Mediterranean into an authentic retreat dedicated to Château Minuty. Set on a specially designed terrace with panoramic views of the Cretan Sea, the Villa Minuty Wine Bar provides the ideal backdrop to discover the iconic Rosé de Provence through an experience that combines culinary excellence, high aesthetics, and the laid-back luxury of the Côte d’Azur.
Following the exceptional success of its launch in 2025, Villa Minuty returns for the second consecutive year, confirming Daios Cove as the sole destination in Greece where guests can experience the authentic philosophy and unique savoir-vivre of Château Minuty. An experience that goes beyond wine tasting, becoming a true hymn to the Mediterranean summer.
INSPIRATION FROM THE LANDSCAPE
In the beginning, there was the view. At Daios Cove, every experience starts with the first breathtaking image that greets the visitor: the deep cyan of the sea conversing with the rugged, almost metallic lines of the rocks, bathed in the golden Cretan light that transforms the landscape into a living painting. These exact elements served as the source of inspiration for the design of Villa Minuty, with the goal of creating the ultimate Mediterranean summer experience.
THE AESTHETIC APPROACH
The furniture, crafted entirely from fine natural materials—light-colored teak wood, handmade ropes, and woven organic fiber yarns—harmoniously dialogues with a soft, sun-drenched color palette. Bright whites, sandy beiges, and subtle touches of cobalt compose a setting that conveys the essence of the Mediterranean summer.
Scattered throughout the terrace, discreet subtle nods to the estate’s rich family history silently tell its heritage: a swing, inspired by the one on the historic terrace of the Château, where the Matton-Farnet family spent their golden afternoons under the Provençal sun. An elegant light-wood bar and large pillows in pastel shades complete this refined summer scene—the ideal environment for lazy summer afternoons under the cool shade of the pergola.
Every element integrates seamlessly into the discreet, sophisticated architecture of Daios Cove, designed to harmonize with the natural environment without dominating it. The result? A magical, exclusive sanctuary that fully embraces the relaxed rhythm of an authentic Greek summer with a French flair.
This space promises to highlight the traditional French art de vivre and convey the atmosphere of the legendary French Riviera—which comes to life on this magical terrace at Daios Cove, with a glass of exceptional Minuty wine in hand, gazing at the endless blue horizon.
DAIOS COVE’S CULINARY OFFERING IN HARMONY WITH THE WORLD OF CHÂTEAU MINUTY
In perfect alignment with the universe of Château Minuty, the fine menu of “Villa Minuty” features the estate’s best cuvées, accompanied by dishes created exclusively by Daios Cove’s talented chefs. Each flavor has been carefully designed to highlight and complement the estate’s wines, serving as a true tribute to the characteristically sophisticated and delicate taste of this exceptional rosé.
The result? A sun-kissed, fresh, and warmly welcoming cuisine, designed both for relaxed meals during hot summer mid-days and for sophisticated aperitifs during the golden sunset hours. The menu harmoniously combines authentic Cretan influences, classic Mediterranean touches, and a bold element of contemporary culinary trends, creating a unique tasting experience that bridges two cultures, two traditions, two ways of life.
ABOUT CHÂTEAU MINUTY
