It began with a vineyard in Achaia. Today, the CAVINO Group brings Greek wine to 55 countries. Behind this achievement lies a 68-year journey, shaped by many people and one shared conviction: that Greek wine has a place of its own in the world, and we are here to prove it
Today, the CAVINO Group connects places, estates and people, from the mountain slopes of Aigialeia to the Kalavryta gorge, and from the heart of Nemea to the volcanic soils of Santorini.
Each place has its own soul. Each bottle has its own story.
in 1958, in Aigio, Achaia. Konstantinos Anastasiou and Ioannis Douskas turned their vision into reality, drawing on Aigialeia’s exceptional wine-growing landscape. On the slopes where the mountains meet the sea, a unique microclimate and fertile, mineral-rich soil create conditions for indigenous varieties such as Roditis, Lagorthi, Mavrodaphne and Mavro Kalavritino. International varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay, have adapted seamlessly to the region’s terroir to the region’s terroir. Since 1969, the CAVINO Group has focused exclusively on winemaking, bottling quality wines, and producing ouzo and spirits. Ever since, it has continued to strengthen its presence in Greece and international markets.
At an altitude of 880 metres, in the Kalavryta gorge, a vineyard with monastic roots dating back to 1550 produces premium wines of recognised internationally.
In the heart of one of Greece’s leading wine-growing regions, Agiorgitiko finds a new expression.
Through its own facilities on the island, the CAVINO Group draws on Samos’s unique viticultural wealth, particularly Muscat Blanc, one of the most distinctive varieties in the Greek vineyard.
At the CAVINO Group, every stage of production is a conscious decision. Stainless-steel tanks with cooling systems maintain stable fermentation temperatures, while underground climate-controlled cellars allow wines to age under controlled conditions in small French oak barrels. Automated bottling lines and controlled storage facilities complete a production process built to exacting standards. State-of-the-art technology serves one simple principle: every bottle that leaves our facilities must be the best it can be.
Specialist agronomists oversee all vineyards, both company-owned and partner-operated, ensuring that only grapes of exceptional quality reach the winery. Supporting them is a fully organised team of scientific, technical and administrative professionals who regard excellence as a starting point, not a goal.
The combination of advanced technology, passion and expertise ensures the production of high-quality certified wines.
From its first vintages in Aigialeia to its international distinctions, the CAVINO Group has always followed the same guiding principle: bringing the finest Greek wines to the world.. Through strategic integration and a vision that extends to every corner of the world, the CAVINO Group is building a strong, fully integrated organisation capable of competing in European and global markets.
This is achieved through three non-negotiable commitments:
Continuous investment in technology, our people and research, because excellence is built through continuous improvement.
Showcasing indigenous varieties and distinctive local terroirs found nowhere else in the world.
Acting responsibly towards nature, consumers and the local communities in which we operate.
Every long-term vision begins with purposeful action. Ours is never to rest on what we have already achieved.
The CAVINO Group looks to the future. Guided by a comprehensive plan, the Group invests in infrastructure, expands its production base and builds strategic partnerships, with one clear goal: to secure Greek winemaking the place it deserves at the forefront of the global market.
This vision rests on six strategic pillars:
Completion of a €4.5 million investment programme (2024), focusing on upgrading machinery and production infrastructure, with a further €1 million investment for the modernisation of the Group’s spirits production and distillation facilities.
Installation of a 1 MW photovoltaic system and energy upgrades to the Group’s buildings to strengthen energy independence. At the same time, an advanced wastewater treatment plant ensures compliance with environmental standards and reduces the Group’s environmental footprint.
Targeted investment to enhance the estate’s tourism appeal and wine profile, through premium visitor experiences and new wine ranges.
Strategic expansion of the Group’s production presence in Nemea and Achaia, two major Greek wine-growing regions. The aim is to harness their distinctive terroirs, showcase local grape varieties and increase production capacity through modern, high-specification facilities.
Strengthening the CAVINO Group’s commercial presence by developing its activities in important wine-growing locations, such as Santorini, and continuing to expand its distribution network in Greece and international markets
Through its investments over the past five years, the CAVINO Group is strengthening its position in Greek winemaking, combining tradition, innovation and sustainability. The aim is to continue increasing production capacity, expanding the distribution network, showcasing the Greek vineyard and developing wine tourism.
