Andreas Sokos winery, has been in production for the last forty years in the region of Kitherona, renowned for thousands of years for the fine quality of it's wine, and his creations reflect the long - standing tradition of a careful selection of the best grapes and the blending of exquisite aromas which characterize this area.

The area is rich in mythology, based on the vine, and the Kitherona Mountain was where the god Dionisis - Vakou was worshipped in ancient times. Nymphs, satyrs and the god Pan dwelled in the caves of the mountain and celebrated by drinking the same wine as that which is produced today on the slopes of Kithairona.

Since then, wine has naturally been the central feature of Kitherona's major festivities and forty years experience in wine making are the basis for Andreas Sokos's belief that his winery has succeeded in recreating, in Kitherona, the exuberant and joyful mythology of Dionisis - Vakou!
