A journey across Greece — told through wine, story, and soul.

GW – The Greek Wine Routes is more than a brand. It’s a curated cultural initiative that brings together the richness of Greek wine, the power of storytelling, and the art of meaningful experience.

We explore, interpret and share the world of Greek wine through:

  • Immersive wine tourism experiences
  • Storytelling through characters, QR labels, and media
  • Artisanal gift collections inspired by Greek terroir
  • Collaborations with wineries, designers, and cultural institutions

Our goal?

To reveal wine not just as a product, but as a living expression of place, identity and memory — and to share it through design, narrative, and emotional travel.

Rooted in sustainability, crafted with care, and created for those who seek beauty with depth, GW is a bridge between tradition and reinvention.

This is not just a wine route. It’s a project of connection, curation, and cultural storytelling.

🍇 Discover Greek Grape Varieties

📚 Wine Word Origins

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

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

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

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

🍾 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.

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

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

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

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.
