Cavino

Cavino, in Aigio, is one of the largest wineries of Greece. Its neoclassical architecture premises are one of the best examples of industrial wine and beverage production units in the country, with a huge exporting activity, to dozens of countries. In 2009, Cavino had been awarded the “Best Winery in Greece Award” by the English magazine “Wine and Spirits Magazine”. Domaine Mega Spileo, of the same owner, on the 21st kilometer of the road that connects Diakopto and Kalavryta, is a unique winery with a limited production of high quality wines. It has a distinctive, traditional architecture (stone) and is situated in an area of spectacular beauty, at an altitude of 880 meters and a view of the Vouraikos Canyon. Its story basically begins in 1550, as it is connected directly to the monastery with the same name, which is a wonderful attraction of the area itself.
