Parparousis Winery

Parparoussis Winery was founded in 1974, by the oenologist Thanasis Parparoussis and his wife, Vasso. Today, the second generation (their daughters Erifili and Demetra), participates actively in all the levels of the business. However, the primary goal, which is the enhancement and promotion of Greek varieties, whose dynamics allows them to successfully enter the international wine pallet, remains.
Parparoussis Winery produces most of its wines from grape coming from its privately-owned vineyards in Movri Achaia and Mpozaitika Patras where its winery is situated. Among them, the sweet wine of PDO Muscat Rio of Patras which is considered world class.
