About Nico Lazaridi Winery

Nico Lazaridi

We chose the local community Agora in the Prefecture of Drama to establish our innovative and modern winery. It was not a random choice, as we took into consideration all the necessary elements so as the production processing to take place as near the harvest location as possible. This way, our people will be able to produce fine wines and store them in ideal conditions, before they reach the consumers.

The winery, with its special architecture, is built inside the main vineyard. The building is fully adjusted to the natural environment and one can observe from it all the tasks taking place in the vineyards. Its state-of-the-art equipment guarantees the production of wine of the highest quality.

The plants occupy approximately 6.500 sq.m. and form a unified complex of buildings which includes vinification, production, bottling and storage areas, cellars for wine aging, hall for wine tasting and seminars, and finally the art gallery “The Magic Mountain”, which can be used as a multi-purpose room.

The production of high quality wines in NICO LAZARIDI Winery is inextricably linked to the high standards, dictated by the art of wine-production, vinification and standardization of our products. The latter are certified by TÜV HELLAS through a Quality Assurance System I.S.O. 9001/2008 and by HACCP.
