An excellent vineyard with international distinctions and continuous research and experimentation with Greek and foreign varieties, both well and less known ones. It is the brainchild of Vangelis Gerovassiliou who started the revival of the 2,5 hectares family vineyard in Papamola region in Epanomi, about 25 km southeast of Thessaloniki. All Ktima wines are produced from grapes cultivated in the private vineyard, now stretching over 56 hectares. Greek and foreign varieties were planted and are being cultivated with great care: Malagousia -first vinified by Vangelis Gerovassiliou- and Assyrtiko -first cultivated in the island of Santorini- are the Greek white varieties of Ktima, while Limnio -an ancient Greek variety also mentioned by Aristophanes in the 5th century BC- Mavroudi and Mavrotragano are the Greek red varieties. Furthermore, French white varieties -Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blancand Viognier- and the red ones -Syrah and Merlot- are being cultivated.
Significant contribution to the promotion and enhancement of the wine-growing tradition is the Wine Museum, which operates in the winery. The stories narrated unfold through the two main Museum collections: the collection of corkscrews, bottles, vessels and pieces of an ancient Greek symposium and the collection of viticulture, vinification, cooperage and bottling tools. The proximity to the vineyards, the winery and wine-tasting rooms, as well as the view of alternating seasons, intensify the visitors' experience.
The Gerovassiliou estate, winery and Wine Museum are open to the public on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 10:00-16:00, Wednesday 13:00-19:00, Saturday closed, Sunday 11:00-17:00.
