Winery Description

Official references to the monastery vineyard date back to 1550. The domain and winery were used by monks for viticulture and the harvesting of grapes. The monks were producing wine in the winery building located on the vineyard and, then transported the grape must by mules to the monastery’s famous cellar where they decanted it to 500lt wooden barrels. Local workers were involved in this process, helping the monks and glorifying the Great Vineyard “Megali Ambelos” and its wine. In the late 80s, viticulture was stopped due to the gradual desertion of the monastery and the lack of monks. The building of the old winery is still exist on the vineyard and was recently restored.

The Great Vineyard is located at Lovas, on the 21st km of the Diakofto-Kalavryta Road, on a plateau above the picturesque Vouraikos canyon at an altitude of 800m.
