Palivou Estate

In a place with vast history of vine growing and winemaking, going back 3.500 years, the PDO wine region of Nemea is blessed with an amazing array of terroirs and diverse microclimates, providing wines of impeccable characteristics.

Palivou Estate is a family-run winery established in 1995 in Ancient Nemea.
The family owns 40 hectares of vineyards that are exclusively cultivated with organic and sustainable methods, also in align with principles of biodynamic farming. With solid experience and excellent cultivating techniques we help the vines express their character through their grapes and that is translated in your bottle.

We produce high quality wines from indigenous Greek as well as international varieties, expressing the terroir of Nemea and our passion.

What is certain, however, is that the family’s winery entered the modern era in 1995, when its equipment began to be modernized and it was established in the Greek wine world. In the second decade of the 21st century Palivou Estate changed generation, when the two dynamic daughters of George Palivos were old enough so that, after the appropriate studies, they could dynamically enter all the stages of the business. From the vineyard to… social networking, through the production of the wine itself, off course. All this next to their proud father who continues fiercely, experimenting on organic, even biodynamic viticulture.
