Winemaking has become our heritage, through many years of experience gained and taught by our ancestors. It all started decades before our great-grandfather. The first winery was founded in Potamida Kissamos and in 2007 the state-of-the-art winery was built in Drapania Kissamos. The new winery also has a stone cellar and a wine museum. Our priority is to continue the traditional way of winemaking in combination with modern technology.
