Lykos Winery was founded in 1991 by Apostolos Lykos and is located in Central Greece at the beautiful Island of Evia, just 80 km from Athens at the area of Malakonta- Eretria. The idea of its creation came as a sequence of the family`s restaurant which produced its own wine to serve its customers. The restaurant is still running next to the Winery and both coexist for winetourists. Lykos family is second generation winemakers, who give respect to winemaking tradition while complimenting these traditions with the utilization of cutting edge technology. They continue to realize the vision of the family which is to contribute to the continuous improvement of Evian vineyard. The vineyards are spanning at both sides of south central Evia, mountainous Viotia and in Koutsi area of Nemea. The unique collaboration of sun, earth and human knowledge creates an explosive effect, combining the ideal terroir aura of Evian with the uniqueness of the cold winter which favors the phenolic ripening of the grapes. The majority of its production is exporting to EU countries, China, Japan and USA. New markets such as Korea and Australia are yet to be discovered. The visited winery tour of the underground cellars with oak barrels and the tasting room is a unique experience combined with the tasteful suggestions of the homonymous family`s restaurant. The winery is open for visitors all year around and welcomes private oenotourists and organized groups. At the premises there are available for selling all the winery`s wines as well as traditional local products. Also, wine seminars, business presentations and other events can be supported. Its location, so close to Athens and its offerings makes it a wine destination on its own. A visit to our winery in Malakonta, which overlooks the main road of wines of Evia is the ideal trip to the countryside which can be combined with its archaeological sites and diamond tastes! ——————————————————————————————– Malakontas Eretrias, 340 08 Evia-Greece, +30 22290 68222 ——————————————————————————————– www.lykoswines.gr [email protected] Facebook/Twitter/Linkedln: Lykos Winery
