Allwinestories the exclusive media partner for Greek Wineries, in Greece, presents Zacharioudakis winery in Greek Wine Day 2025.
Technology and knowledge in oenology easily create good wine. However, when your goal is the best quality, then the winning factor is for the wine to originate from the best vineyard. That is why the Zacharioudakis family happily invested in a Cretan organically cultivated vineyard that was planted on the hill Orthi Petra in South Crete, a location that can guarantee exceptional harvests.
Within the 20 hectares organically cultivated vineyard, the state-of-the-art winery with its unique architecture was built. Our goal is not the mass production. It is to produce Cretan wines of the finest quality from grapes organically grown in our vineyard and we create wine with respect in accordance with the international high quality standards.”Domaine Zacharioudakis” was created at the top of the hill “Orthi Petra” ocated in the south part of Crete, at an altitude of 500 metres, north of ancient Gortina, next to the village of Plouti. In the year 2000, journalist Stelios Zacharioudakis and his spouse, Victoria, began the implementation of their vision to create an area as a tribute to the vineyard and wine, an area to mark the modern and very promising wine history of Crete.
Both the vineyard and the winery are open to visitors. During the tour of the vineyard, each guest has the opportunity to live a unique and unforgettable experience, which offers the knowledge of how the vineyard was planted around the hill as well as the magnificent view from an altitude of 500 metres overlooking the Valley of Messaras, the Libyan Sea and the Asterousia mountains, all of which compose a majestic Cretan landscape.
