THEOPETRA ESTATE – TSILILIS

HALL 9 B 68

Τheopetra Estate is situated at the Meteora PGI region, in Thessaly, Central Greece. At the foothills of Meteora Rocks and around the prehistoric Cave of Theopetra, signs of human existence and evolution are found far back into Paleolithic era.

Here, at the Cave of Theopetra, there were found, among other things, grape seeds which provoke change in the history of wine and prove the ancient coexistence of this place with the vine and the wine.
During the Byzantine era, the sacred vine cultivation and evolution of winemaking passed into the hands of the monks of the sacred Rocks who practiced them with the same reverence as in worshipping God.

Nowadays, Tsililis family has created an icon winery in order to highlight the particularity of the region and revive rare Greek varieties making still wines, sparkling wines and grape spirits from organically grown grapes.
