We don’t just work with partners. We walk with them.

At GW – The Greek Wine Routes, collaboration is not a transaction. It is a shared journey — grounded in trust, values, and a deep love for craft.

We choose to work with boutique wineries, independent artisans, cultural institutions, local storytellers and ethical businesses who, like us, believe that wine is not just a product — it’s a way of seeing, feeling and connecting.

🍇 Discover Greek Grape Varieties

📚 Wine Word Origins

🏺 Oinos → From Mycenaean Linear B
The ancient word for wine.

🍇 Ampelos → From ‘ἄμπελος’
The Greek word for vine — source of the term ampelography, the study of grape varieties.

🍾 Retsina → From ‘ῥητίνη’ (retini)
Named after the pine resin once used to seal amphorae and later became part of the flavor — an ancient tradition still alive today.

🍷 Krater → From the Greek ‘κρατήρ’
A large vessel used to mix wine with water during symposia — the heart of ancient wine culture.

🌿 Symposion → From ‘σύν’ (together) + ‘πίνειν’ (to drink)
Not just a drinking party, but a ritualized gathering — the birthplace of philosophical dialogue over shared cups.

📖 “Did You Know?” Greek Wine Facts

Xinomavro is often called the “Barolo of Greece” — bold, complex, and built to age.

Vidiano is Crete’s rising white star — once nearly extinct, now hailed as Greece’s next great white grape.

Assyrtiko is one of the few white grapes that can age gracefully for decades.

In Greek, “moscho” means fragrant, and it lives up to Moschofilero's name.

Malagousia was nearly lost — until a winemaker’s instinct brought this aromatic gem back to life.

Savvatiano is Greece’s most planted grape — and it thrives in the heat where other grapes fade.

Agiorgitiko is known as the “Blood of Hercules” in myth.
