A.O.C. Rapsani has its new King!!!



Dougos Winery, one of the most gifted producers in Greece, located at the foothills of Mount Olympus, in the magical Tempi Valley, just a kilometer off the national road.
The estate where the winery is built, stretches over one acre, surrounded by a vineyard of 28 different grape varieties and a green garden, overlooking Mount Kissavos, the Pinios River and the historical village of Ampelakia.
The building covers 250 sq.m with an underground cellar of 250 sq.m.
