Intro

The Ampeloeis winery was established in 2006 by the Tsiolas family in Folia, Kavala. The name "Ampeloeis" comes from the Homeric word meaning "vine-covered" or "place with vineyards," reflecting the family's connection to viticultural tradition. To ensure quality, the family collaborated from the beginning with the internationally renowned French oenologist Noel Rabot.
