Wine Art Estate
Wine Art Estate lies at the foot of Mount Pangaion in Drama, Northern Greece. Since ancient times the region has been known for the cultivation of the vine and the production of wines, as evidenced by the ruins of a Sanctuary of Dionysus, the ancient Greek god of wine. Wine Art Estate was founded in 1993 by civil engineer Yannis Papadopoulos and architect Yannis Kalaitzidis. The two friends shared a vision of creating high quality wines that would express the unique terroir of Drama. Today, Wine Art Estate is one of the most respected wineries in Greece, known for their elegant wines that combine indigenous and international varieties.
