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.

🌿 Who we collaborate with:

  • Small & family-owned wineries practicing sustainable viticulture
  • Designers & illustrators creating wine-inspired objects
  • Historians, musicians & cultural mediators enriching our experiences
  • Boutique travel curators & hospitality venues that celebrate locality
  • NGOs & educational projects that preserve rural knowledge

🤲 What binds us together:

  • A shared vision for authentic, human-centered tourism
  • A commitment to quality over scale
  • A desire to highlight Greece’s hidden voices
  • A belief that beauty and ethics go hand in hand

If you feel our values resonate with yours, we’d love to explore what we could create — together.

We are proud to walk this route with people who plant meaning into everything they do — and to bring their work to light, with the care it deserves.

🍇 Discover Greek Grape Varieties

📚 Wine Word Origins

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

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

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

🍇 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.

📖 “Did You Know?” Greek Wine Facts

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

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

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

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

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.

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