It was back in 2010 that we first discussed the idea of creating a new, modern winery together, initially to revive and promote the local grape variety Fokiano, which, for generations, has been used for the production of the traditional sweet wine of Lipsi island.  As established local winegrowers working individually, it made sense to form a joint enterprise and in 2013 Lipsi Winery was officially opened.

We now produce four wines from Fokiano which show the diversity of this little known variety:  ‘Aposperitis’ - an award-winning dessert wine from sun-dried grapes, ‘Anthonero’ - a fruity dry rosè, ‘Ageriko’ - a unique Blanc de Noirs blended with Assyrtiko and Athiri, and ‘Aktaion’ - an excellent dry red blend of Syrah and Fokiano. All grapes used in the production of our wines are grown in our own vineyards here on Lipsi. 

We hope you have the opportunity to enjoy our wines and to visit the winery, where we look forward to welcoming you.
