Where Greek wine becomes a story, a journey, and a deeply personal experience.

At GW – The Greek Wine Routes, we believe that wine is not just a beverage. It is a cultural expression, a memory of the land, and a story worth telling. That’s why we create curated wine experiences and storytelling-inspired products that bring you closer to the heart of Greece — its people, terroirs, and timeless traditions.

Founded by a team of wine lovers, creatives, and cultural storytellers, GW is a bridge between authentic Greek vineyards and travelers or collectors seeking something meaningful.

Whether you're walking through a vineyard during a tailor-made wine tour, discovering a Greek variety through a QR-labeled bottle, or opening a design gift box inspired by Aegean aromas, you’re not just a visitor. You're part of the story.

Our mission is to honor and share the soul of Greek wine, through high-end experiences, thoughtful creations, and a strong connection to place.

We collaborate with boutique wineries, local artisans, and cultural institutions to ensure every product and experience reflects authenticity, sustainability, and elegance.


Founder’s Note

GW was born from a deep longing — not just to taste Greek wine, but to understand it.

To walk the soil where it grows. To meet the hands that craft it. To listen to the silence between the vines. And to tell its story — not as a commodity, but as a living heritage.

I created GW to gather these moments. To offer others the chance to connect not just with the wine, but with what the wine remembers: places, people, myths, love, craftsmanship.

If you've ever held a glass and felt something more — You're already on the route.

Welcome.

— Eri Koraka, Founder of GW – The Greek Wine Routes

GW is not a platform. It's a feeling.
A wine route where every stop reveals something true, rare, and unforgettable.

🍇 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.

🏺 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.

🍷 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
