Every legacy begins somewhere. For CAVINO, that beginning lies on the slopes of Aigialeia, where the mountains meet the sea and a distinctive microclimate creates ideal conditions for grapes of exceptional quality.
It was here that two visionaries laid the foundations for what would become the CAVINO Group.
In 1958, Konstantinos Anastasiou and Ioannis Douskas turned their vision into reality. Their choice of Aigio was no accident. The region’s exceptional winegrowing landscape, the meeting of mountain and sea, and a long winemaking tradition dating back to antiquity all pointed to the potential for something remarkable.
From the outset, CAVINO invested in the indigenous varieties that made the region famous: Roditis, Lagorthi, Sideritis, Mavro Kalavritino and, of course, the renowned Mavrodaphne.
At the same time, international varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon adapted seamlessly to the terroir of Aigialeia, helping to shape the CAVINO Group’s cosmopolitan profile.
CAVINO’s story is one of continuous development. Keeping pace with the latest trends, the company modernised every area of production with state-of-the-art equipment. Four bottling lines help ensure the quality of its wines and spirits (ouzo, tsipouro, brandy), while 5,000 m² of climate-controlled storage facilities safeguard ideal conditions for their long-term preservation.
Certifications to some of the most demanding international standards, including ISO, BRC and IFS at the highest level, further reinforce quality assurance throughout every stage of production.
Today, the CAVINO Group exports approximately 70% of its production to more than 55 countries worldwide.
It is a remarkable journey for a company that began in a small town in the Peloponnese and went on to bring the character of Greek wine to international markets.
CAVINO’s commitment to the quality of Aigialeia’s grapes and to promoting Greek PDO wines has been recognised by leading wine critics and experts at international competitions.
2009 Named Best Greek Winery by the International Wine & Spirit Competition in the United Kingdom.
2018 & 2019 Recognised as a Protagonist of the Greek Economy for two consecutive years, in recognition of the company’s strong financial performance within the sector.
CAVINO’s progress is undeniable. Today, the CAVINO Group continues to build on its legacy. Cavino remains committed to traditional winemaking values: with advanced equipment, experienced people and modern wineries located within Greece’s wine-growing regions, CAVINO continues to serve as a leading ambassador of our country, the land of Dionysus.
