With a deep-rooted experience in farming from a young age, Giorgos Dimakopoulos, along with his agronomist spouse, Varvara Spiliotopoulou, transformed their land into private vineyards in the Vasiliko area of Achaia, located at about 130 meters above sea level. Their goal was to breathe new life into the ancient practices of small, multi-varietal vineyards (field blends), cultivating them with traditional, organic methods.

The varieties they grow include Roditis, Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Muscat as well as the rare, local Koritsanos grapes.

Patras, the third-largest city in Greece, is a vibrant destination that beautifully combines rich history, stunning architecture, and lively modern life. Located on the northwestern coast of the Peloponnese, it serves as a gateway to the Greek islands and mainland Europe, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the region. The city’s charming blend of old and new attracts visitors who are eager to experience authentic Greek culture alongside contemporary amenities.

One of Patras’ most famous landmarks is the impressive Rio-Antirrio Bridge, a modern engineering marvel connecting the Peloponnese with mainland Greece. History lovers will enjoy visiting the Roman Odeon and the Patras Archaeological Museum, which houses fascinating artifacts from ancient times. The magnificent Agios Andreas Cathedral, one of the largest churches in Greece, is a must-see for its stunning Byzantine architecture and vibrant frescoes.

Visitors often enjoy Patras for its lively and friendly atmosphere, which really comes alive during its many festivals. The most famous of these is the Patras Carnival, known across Europe for being one of the biggest and most vibrant celebrations around. It usually lasts for several weeks, filled with colorful parades, music, dancing, and lots of fun events for all ages.
