Drouvas Winery

The Drouva Winery is integrated into the space and activities of the Drouva Estate, located on the hills of Agios Georgios with an area of 60 acres. It is 3 km away from the town of Pyrgos, 10 km from the port of Katakolo and 8 to 6 km from the beaches of Agios Andreas, Leventochori, Skafidia. Its history begins before 1900, when it was a vast raisin-vineyard. After 1935 and the 3rd raisin crisis, raisins were uprooted and trees like apricots, oranges, olives as also vineyards (fileria, mavroudia,asproudes) were planted. The production of oil and wine began. The kokkineli of spatial winemaking stands out before the war and it is transported by carts to the “shops” of Pyrgos. Today, the spatial vinification of the estate has evolved into Drouva Winery which is managed by the3rd generation of winemakers of the family and is one of the authentic Microwineries in the country. In its privately owned vineyards, the indigenous varieties Fileri, Roditis, Agiorgitiko, Mavroudi, and Refosco or Merkoureiko are cultivated and 5 labels are produced from them, 3 varietal wines and 2 premium wines, without additives and with a small carbon footprint.
