Dourakis Winery is a boutique establishment featuring multiple vineyards and a state-of-the-art wine cellar, which began with just a handful of barrels.

The Dourakis Family: Passionate Winemakers

Founded by Andreas Dourakis in the early 1980s, the winery opened its doors to visitors in 1988. Initially operating from a modest shed with limited barrels, Dourakis Winery has transformed into a fully solar-powered boutique winery, complete with expansive vineyards and a spacious cave wine cellar. The Dourakis family is dedicated to producing high-quality wines, exporting their products to Europe, China, Canada, and the USA.

Traditional Viticulture Practices

Committed to sustainability, the Dourakis family employs traditional viticulture methods to cultivate a diverse range of grape varieties. Notable grapes grown on the estate include Vilana, Vidiano, Muscat of Spinas, Malvasia, and Madilari, alongside other premium varietals such as Kotsifali, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery also hosts various culinary events, art exhibitions, and concerts, providing a unique setting for weddings, christenings, and birthday celebrations, all complemented by exquisite wine and food pairings.
