Wine Art Estate lies at the foot of Mount Pangaion in Drama, Northern Greece. Since ancient times the region has been known for the cultivation of the vine and the production of wines, as evidenced by the ruins of a Sanctuary of Dionysus, the ancient Greek god of wine. Wine Art Estate was created by civil engineer Yannis Papadopoulos and architect Yannis Kalaitzidis who became passionate winemakers. They created a beautiful winery in the early 1990s and are known for their award-winning wines. Currently, the son of Yannis Papadopoulos, Akis Papadopoulos, is the lead oenologist, having studied winemaking and chemistry in Bordeaux. The wines are highly distinguished in Greece and are vinified from indigenous and international varieties.
