OUR STORY
Georgiou winery is housed in a 1930 stone house in a village called Souli in Korinthia Greece. This house, our great grandfather's house was actually a wine cellar, an apple warehouse and a olive oil ware house. Nearby there is still what is left From the olive oil mill our great grandfather run. The house which accommodates our winery was built from 1925 until 1930 and the stone for the walls comes from our very own query, in the southern part of the village. Now, in Greek terms an almost hundred year old house is relatively new. The village itself is consider a ""new" village as it was built in the early 1800's .
On the other hand the vineyard in not new. Almost every part of the Korinthia region has had grapes from ancient times. Nearby Nemea, about 30km drive far, was known from ancient times for its Flyasios oenos, the wine of Flyas, that is. The local variety, now named Agiorgitiko, was a trademark for the region in late Hellenistic and Roman times.
Even in modern Greek history, during the 1821 revolution, the "Battle of the Grapes"is described, in September 1822 between Turkish tactical and Greek rebel forces, taking place in the plains between Korinthos and Kiato.
In the picture on the left, the village church is shown, it was built in 1903, a basilica, and the bell tower was part of the main building and not as a separate tower, as it is customary. The local fest is on the 22nd and 23rd of August.
