🧳 Plan Your Wine Trip

🧭 Step 1: Pick a Region
🍇 Step 2: Select an Experience
🚶 Step 3: Start Exploring

We tell the story. The winery brings the bottle. You unlock the experience.

At GW – The Greek Wine Routes, we create QR-powered storytelling experiences designed to live on the labels of the wines we curate and celebrate — even if we don’t bottle them ourselves.

When you see a bottle featuring the GW storytelling label, just scan and discover:

  • The narrative behind the grape and region
  • A digital vignette featuring Lefki & Achilleas
  • Music, food pairings and cultural context
  • Emotional threads connecting place, tradition and taste

Our QR experiences are co-created with select boutique wineries who share our vision:

Wine that speaks. Wine that remembers.

 

Coming soon – stay tuned.

We don’t sell the wine. We tell its story — one scan at a time.
Scan the label. Taste the land. Follow the story.

🍇 Discover Greek Grape Varieties

📚 Wine Word Origins

🍾 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.

🏺 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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