Tzikas Family Winery
Fine Greek Wines

The Tzikas Family Winery has been a significant player in Greek winemaking for several decades, reflecting a deep-rooted passion for viticulture that has been passed down through generations. The winery cultivates thirteen grape varieties across 25 acres and 7 different vineyard plots. The Tzikas family vineyards feature both international and local varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay, as well as Greek varieties such as Assyrtiko, Moschato, Malagouzia, and Fokiano, which is native to the Kassandra region of Halkidiki—where the Tzikas vineyards have been located for over 150 years. Additionally, they cultivate Limnio, a variety with a history spanning three millennia, and have recently planted Mavrodaphne for the production of dry wine.

Afytaion Gaia Winery
Biological Vineyards

The story behind each grape

Afytaion Gaia Winery adopts a holistic approach to winemaking, emphasizing that the entirety of their work and its outcome cannot be analyzed merely through individual interventions or isolated characteristics. This philosophy integrates every aspect of viticulture and winemaking, recognizing the interconnectedness of soil, climate, grape variety, and winemaking practices to create a harmonious and balanced final product. Cultivating vines demands full and undivided attention throughout the growing season, as factors such as soil and climate significantly impact the quality of the wine produced. At Afytaion Gaia, the vineyard is cultivated organically, with minimal intervention to preserve the biodiversity of their non-irrigated vines. They focus primarily on indigenous varieties, complemented by internationally renowned ones. Notably, they have conducted experimental plantings of Cabernet Blanc, a new variety resulting from the crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling. This innovative creation, which began as an experiment, has garnered acclaim in international competitions for its complexity, both on the palate and in the nose.
