Antonopoulos Vineyards was founded by the late visionary winemaker, Constantinos Antonopoulos near the city of Patras in the northwestern Peloponnese. Constantinos saw the vast, untapped potential of this diverse landscape, especially the mountainous region of Achaia and the unique winemaking opportunities it presented.

In 1994, Yiannis & Nikos Halikias, with the support of the Antonopoulos family, purchased Antonopoulos Vineyards and continued the important work of Constantinos Antonopoulos. For the Halikias cousins, Antonopoulos Vineyards represents the greatest of challenges, a new way of life and for them there is no turning back.
