ACHAIA CELLARS PELOPONNESE, GREECE

Achaia Cellars is Greece’s oldest winery and a historic landmark located in the Peloponnese region. Established in 1861 by Gustav Clauss, a Bavarian businessman who was captivated by the vineyards surrounding Patras. The estate is perched on a lush green hill southeast of Patras, in the Achaia region of the northwest Peloponnese, offering panoramic views of the Corinthian Gulf. The winery has been under the management of oenologist Nikos Karapanos and his family since the late 1990s. The winery blends a respect for its vast tradition with modern techniques to highlight the unique potential of local Greek grape varieties. Their approach focuses on indigenous varieties, terroir expression and balancing tradition with innovation.
