In 1905 grandfather Giorgos Vassiliou, born and bred in the Messogia area of Attica, planted estate vineyards to produce wine. His son, Panagiotis Vassiliou, the second generation producer, continued in his father’s footsteps.

After completing his studies in the University of Dijon, France, his grandson, Giorgos Vassiliou, took over the family business and established Domaine Vassiliou winery at Koropi, Attiki. The winery’ s aim is to produce branded, fine wines by combining the family’s century of experience and passion with European technology.

His constant search for indigenous varieties brought Giorgos Vassiliou to Nemea, an Appellation of Superior Quality Zone, and arguably the most important viticultural region in Greece. The Nemeion Estate winery, named after the ancient Nemea, is a true work of art founded by Giorgos Vassiliou in 2003 with the aim of creating fine wines. It is the only winery in Greece where everything works by force of gravity.
