The Glinavos Estate is a prestigious winery, nestled in the picturesque region of Zitsa, in northwestern Greece. Established in 1978 by Lefteris Glinavos, a pioneer in Greek oenology, this estate quickly gained a reputation for the exceptional quality of its wines and for its commitment to local winemaking tradition. Spread over more than 20 hectares, the Glinavos Estate is an idyllic landscape of lush vines climbing the hillside, bathed in the sun from the Ionian Sea. The region's climatic conditions, with its mild winters and hot summers, are ideal for the cultivation of various grape varieties, including the famous Debina, which is the origin of Zitsa's sparkling white wine. Lefteris Glinavos introduced modern viticulture practices while preserving traditional methods, thus improving quality while preserving the unique character of his wines. The vines are grown organically, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, resulting in grapes of exceptional purity. A visit to the Glinavos Estate is an unforgettable experience. The estate offers guided tours where one can discover the winemaking process, from grape pressing to fermentation and barrel maturation. The cellar, carved into the hillside, is a fascinating place where rows of oak barrels are lined up, filled with the property's precious nectars. The wine tasting at the end of the tour offers the chance to savor vintages that are as refined as they are intense in flavor. The Glinavos Estate produces a varied range of wines, including whites, reds, and rosés.
