Right next to Vanato, at the village of Kalipado you'll find Callinico, a small traditional three-generation winery producing local Zakynthian wine of surprising good quality since 1918.

If you're even slightly serious about your cheese, you must visit Ktima Basta at Agios Leon and try some of this amazingly rich, crumbly and salty Zakynthian Ladotyri. This cheese is prepared in large oil tanks and the more it stays in the olive oil, the stronger the taste.

In the mountainous village of Kiliomenos you can find the Women's Agricultural Cooperative  known as Melissiotises (melissa being the Greek for bee). Melissiotises run their own shop where Zakynthian agricultural produce is shared aplenty.
