Estates Costa Lazaridi were born from the vision of Costas Lazaridi to place the wines of Drama on the global wine map and to share with the world the uniqueness of the region and its terroir. Costas Lazaridis, the father of modern winemaking in Drama, laid the foundations of modern viticulture in the area and later expanded to Attica with the Oenotria Land Estate.

It all began in 1979 with the planting of the first modern vineyard of 10 hectares with Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Assyrtiko, varieties that remain to this day the main grapes cultivated on the slopes of Drama.

Today, the vineyards of Estates Costa Lazaridi are spread over four areas, making use of the microclimate of the Drama region and covering a total of 280 hectares, reaching altitudes of up to 900 meters. With respect to the environment, we take full advantage of the dynamic terroir of the region by applying integrated management standards that ensure high-quality grapes, following the philosophy that great wines are born in the vineyard.

Vinification takes place in our modern facilities, under the supervision of our experienced oenologists. Our multi-awarded wines belong to the Amethystos, Château Julia, and Domaine Costa Lazaridi family. In addition, Estates Costa Lazaridi produce the traditional tsipouro and ouzo Idoniko, the Methexis distillates, and Aceto Botanico balsamic vinegars.

Exports, a key priority and goal of our winery, bring our products to 24 countries around the world.

At the beginning of the millennium, the construction of the “Oenotria Land” complex in Kapandriti, Attica, began, and was completed in 2006. It includes multiple spaces for social and corporate events, a conference center and the unique Costas Lazaridis Wine Museum. On the shores of Lake Marathon is the 200-acre organic vineyard from which the “Oenotria Land” red wines of the same name are produced.

Our winery in Drama is open to the public from Monday to Friday. The visitor will be guided through the aging areas of the red wines, admire the corridor with the marble sculptures and then can taste representative labels of the Estate in the tasting room. All the Estate’s products are available at special prices.
