Mamos Beer at the World Festival of Greek Gastronomy
There are flavours that simply accompany a meal, and there are flavours that become part of its story. Mamos beer belongs to the latter.
With a recipe deeply rooted in the history of Greek brewing and an unwavering commitment to quality, Mamos has been brewed with passion for generations. A passion that extends beyond the craft of brewing itself to a genuine appreciation for authentic experiences that bring people together around the table.
This is precisely where Mamos and Gastrosophy come together: in a shared space where a passion for creation meets carefully selected ingredients and authentic flavour. Just as a thoughtfully crafted dish is born from dedication, technique and respect for its ingredients, Mamos beer is brewed with the same devotion to quality and carefully selected ingredients.
Gastronomy is not just about food. It is about people, stories and moments shared around the table. It is the pursuit of authenticity and the joy of discovering new flavour combinations. Through Gastrosophy, Mamos celebrates this very philosophy, demonstrating how beer can become an integral part of a complete gastronomic experience.
Mamos. Brewed with passion.

Oenops Wines, based in Prosotsani, Drama, was founded in 2015 by winemaker Nikos Karatzas, with the aim of showcasing the richness of the Greek vineyard through a modern and unpretentious winemaking approach. A chemical engineer with oenology studies in Bordeaux and extensive experience in the Greek wine industry, Nikos Karatzas founded Oenops around a different philosophy: rather than owning vineyards, the winery focuses on close collaboration with dedicated growers and the search for distinctive terroirs, old vines, and indigenous Greek grape varieties.
At the heart of Oenops lies a pursuit of purity, authenticity, and minimal intervention, allowing each wine to express with precision its variety, place of origin, and vintage.
A distinctive expression of this philosophy is the APLA range, a celebration of simplicity and effortless enjoyment. APLA White, Rosé, and Red are crafted from indigenous Greek grape varieties sourced from different wine-growing regions, combining freshness, fruit, balance, and character.
From the Malagousia, Vidiano, and Assyrtiko of APLA White to the Xinomavro, Limniona, and Mavroudi featured across the range, APLA encapsulates the philosophy of Nikos Karatzas and Oenops: contemporary Greek wines with substance, precision, and, above all, effortless enjoyment.

The history of Estates Costa Lazaridi is inextricably linked to the modern history of wine in Drama. In the early 1970s, Costa Lazaridi firmly believed in the potential of his homeland and established a 100-hectare vineyard on the slopes of Mount Falakro, with the vision of establishing Drama as one of the most important wine-producing regions in Greece and the world.
Today, the vineyards of Estates Costa Lazaridi extend across four distinct locations in Drama—Adriani, Kali Vrisi, Katafyto, and Platania—as well as our organic vineyards by Lake Marathon in Attica. Each location has unique characteristics, allowing us to fully harness the potential of its microclimate and distinctive terroir.
From this first vineyard site, Greece’s largest privately owned vineyard gradually took shape, where both Greek and international grape varieties are cultivated with care, from Assyrtiko and Agiorgitiko to Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Costa Lazaridi’s passion for the vine extended far beyond viticulture. He established Drama’s first state-of-the-art winery, developed high-quality spirits and aged balsamic products, and in 2011 inaugurated Oenotria Gi and the Costa Lazaridi Wine Museum in Attica—a unique space dedicated to the history and culture of wine.
With iconic labels such as Amethystos, Château Julia, and Domaine Costa Lazaridi, every bottle expresses the Estate’s enduring philosophy: “Great wines are born in the vineyard.”
At Estates Costa Lazaridi, sustainability and sustainable viticulture coexist in harmony with the vine and nature. All our vineyards are certified by the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation, reaffirming our commitment to cultivating with respect for the soil, biodiversity, and future generations.
Costa Lazaridi’s vision of Drama as the City of Wine has now become a reality. Today, his sons, Gerasimos and Giorgos Lazaridi, continue to lead Estates Costa Lazaridi into a new era with consistency and dedication.

Since 1962, with Absolute Respect for People and the Environment
At the heart of Nemea, Zacharias Winery has continued a long-standing family tradition of viticulture and winemaking since 1962, making it one of the region’s most historic wineries. With absolute respect for people and the natural environment, the winery combines modern equipment with specialized expertise, guided by a commitment to authentically expressing the identity of the land, its grape varieties, and the distinctive characteristics of each vintage. By blending tradition with a contemporary approach to winemaking, it produces wines that clearly express their origin and showcase the potential of modern Greek wine.
The winery’s vineyards are located within the PDO Nemea wine-growing zone, in carefully selected locations and at different elevations. Limestone-rich soils, combined with a favorable microclimate, contribute to the creation of wines with freshness, structure, balance, complexity, and a distinct expression of their origin.
The vineyards are managed with particular care, with an emphasis on sustainability and natural balance. Harvesting is selective and scheduled at the optimal stage of ripeness, ensuring that each grape faithfully expresses the characteristics of its terroir and vintage.
Every stage of the winemaking process is guided by expertise, precision, and the necessary time. Fermentation and aging aim to preserve varietal identity and the authenticity of the wine’s origin. Oak barrels are used selectively, adding depth and elegance without altering the wine’s character.
At Zacharias Winery, time is an essential part of the creative process. Each wine is shaped by the land, the grape variety, and the vintage, offering a complete experience—from vineyard to glass and memory.

Ktima Biblia Chora is located on the slopes of Mount Pangaion, in Kokkinochori, Kavala. Its founders, oenologists Vangelis Gerovassiliou and Vassilis Tsaktsarlis, established an organically cultivated vineyard there in 1998, which today extends over 80 hectares. All of the Estate’s wines are produced in its modern winery, surrounded by the privately owned vineyard.
The region’s remarkable winemaking tradition dates back to antiquity. On the fertile plain of Philippi, at the prehistoric site known to archaeologists as Dikili Tash (“Standing Stone”), some of the earliest evidence of vine cultivation and winemaking in Greece has been discovered — including the earliest known evidence of grapes being pressed for wine production, dating to around 4300 BC.
The Phoenicians, renowned seafarers and traders, arrived in the Pangaion region in search of precious metals and brought with them from Byblos in Phoenicia a grape variety known as the “Biblia vine”. From this variety, the ancient Greeks produced the celebrated “Biblinos Wine”. The area consequently became known as “Biblia Chora”, a name referenced in texts by Hesiod, Theocritus and Michael Psellos.
Today, Ktima Biblia Chora continues this centuries-old tradition, creating wines that express the character of the land, the expertise of its founders and the living history of Mount Pangaion.

An exemplary vineyard
Ktima Gerovassiliou has been dedicated to vine growing and winemaking since 1981. On the slopes of Epanomi, just a few kilometres outside Thessaloniki, its meticulously tended vineyard surrounds the modern winery where the Estate’s renowned wines are produced.
The vineyard is cultivated with exceptional care and a spirit of continuous experimentation, exploring both Greek and international grape varieties, from the well-known to the rare and lesser-known. Throughout both viticulture and winemaking, technological innovation goes hand in hand with tradition. The aim is to produce high-quality wines exclusively from the Estate’s privately owned vineyard, expressing the distinctive characteristics of the area’s terroir.
At the heart of the winery, the Gerovassiliou Wine Museum offers an insight into the history of vine growing and winemaking around the world. Together with a wide range of activities — visits, wine tastings, educational programmes, seminars and publications — the Museum contributes to sharing and promoting the culture of wine.

Τhe hidden gem of Goumenissa
Mikro Ktima Titos lies at the foothills of Mount Paiko, near Goumenissa. In 1972, Titos Eftychidis planted a 4-hectare vineyard here with Xinomavro, Negoska, Cabernet Sauvignon, Limnio and Viognier.
In 2018, the Estate was acquired by oenologists Vangelis Gerovassiliou and Vassilis Tsaktsarlis, who continue its legacy with respect for the history of the land and its indigenous grape varieties. Today, the Estate’s organic vineyards cover a total of 27 hectares, extending around the winery in the Dio Potamia area and across selected vineyard sites in Gerakonas, Filyria and Pentalofos — among the finest locations within the Goumenissa PDO zone.
The vineyards are cultivated according to organic farming principles and with respect for the distinctive characteristics of each site. Most vineyard work, including harvesting, is carried out by hand. Goumenissa’s mild microclimate, shaped by cool breezes from Mount Paiko and warm summers, contributes to the production of high-quality wines that authentically express the character of the region.

A diverse vineyard landscape
Our deep passion and dedication to fine wine led us to a remarkable place within the wild and authentic landscape of the Peloponnese. Here, across two successive slopes embracing the land at different elevations, lies the vineyard of Ktima Dio Ipsi.
The Estate takes its name from the distinctive topography of the vineyard, which seems to flow like a wave over these two slopes, creating a landscape of rare natural beauty. The vineyard is farmed according to organic principles on an unspoilt stretch of land in the region of Ilia, close to the site of ancient Elis — a land blessed by nature and rich in history.
Most vineyard work, including the harvest, is carried out by hand, with the utmost respect for the vines and the environment. At the heart of the Estate, an old olive grove coexists with the vineyard, reflecting the natural abundance of the Peloponnese and inspiring the production of four distinctive wines as well as an extra virgin olive oil made from the Koroneiki variety.
Ktima Dio Ipsi aspires to create wines of exceptional quality, deeply connected to the land, its natural environment and its history.

JIMA was born in Epirus from the shared vision of winemaker and chemist Panos Jimas, holder of the WSET Diploma, and his wife, paediatrician Kristy Karagiannidou: to reveal the depth and diversity of the vineyards of Epirus. Their journey began in 2013 with the planting of the family vineyard on the Ambracian Gulf. Today, the family estate is home to JIMA’s winemaking heart.
JIMA approaches Epirus as a single yet multidimensional wine region. Its vineyards extend from the Mediterranean landscape of the Ambracian Gulf to the old vines of Zitsa, the continental climate of Chrysovitsa and the alpine environment of Konitsa. Three rivers—the Arachthos, Kalamas and Aoös—trace a journey from the Mediterranean landscape to the mountains, brought together in a single vinous narrative by JIMA.
Debina and Vlahiko meet Gewürztraminer, Merlot and Cabernet Franc in limited-production wines defined by precision, gastronomic character and the capacity to evolve. Viticulture is based on manual work, low yields and the protection of biodiversity. In the cellar, amphorae, carefully selected oak and extended periods of maturation serve the pure expression of each place.
Every JIMA bottle bears an original work of art, conceived as a visual extension of the wine rather than mere decoration. With an annual production of approximately 20,000 bottles, JIMA is present in Greece and selected international markets.
A key partner on this journey is Cava 800. Based in Ioannina since 1998, Cava 800 has consistently cultivated wine culture through carefully curated selections, presentations and events. Its annual 800 Wine Fair has become a reference point for wine in Epirus. Its relationship with JIMA extends beyond commercial collaboration, founded on a shared commitment to quality Greek wine and to promoting the contemporary wine identity of Epirus.

With the Ammonite as its Emblem
The fossil of n ancient sea — the ammonite — a symbol of eternal memory and the natural wealth of the Greek land, became the emblem of a journey shaped by knowledge, experience and respect for tradition. Gaia Wines, rooted in two of Greece’s most iconic wine regions — Nemea and Santorini — brings Agiorgitiko and Assyrtiko to the forefront, two varieties that embody the depth, complexity and authenticity of Greek terroir. From Nemea in the Peloponnese, with its elegant Agiorgitiko, to the volcanic landscapes of Santorini, where Assyrtiko expresses the power of stone and sea, Gaia Wines showcases the Greek vineyard on the global stage. In 1994, two people with profound knowledge and a passion for wine — Yiannis Paraskevopoulos, an Agronomist from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Doctor of Oenology from Bordeaux II, and Leon Karatsalos, also an Agronomist from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki — set out to pursue a shared vision. With their sights set equally on tradition and innovation, they transformed their scientific expertise and experience into wines that take wine lovers on a journey with every glass. With respect for the unique character of each region, they cultivate their vineyards and craft their wines in a way that connects history with the future. Today, a new generation of Gaia Wines is dynamically stepping into the foreground, bringing fresh ideas, new energy and a contemporary perspective. With deep respect for the founders’ legacy and the values that have shaped the winery’s journey, this new generation continues to evolve the vision of Gaia Wines with consistency, courage and creativity.
GAIA WINES is a living dialogue between Greece’s unique wine regions — Santorini and Nemea — and the global wine culture.
