Amargiotakis Winery is located in Dafnes, Heraklion, Crete in the vine-growing zone of Dafnes where several of the native varieties of Crete are cultivated in privately owned and cooperating vineyards, with emphasis on the Liatiko (PDO) variety.

The history of the Winery begins in 1965, when grandfather Amargiotakis began the production of quality wines, whereas later his son, with his special love for viticulture, expanded their privately owned vineyards by planting new vines.

A third-generation winemaker, Manolis Amargiotakis, the current owner of the Winery, took over the business in 2003. In 2006, he moved to Athens to promote the Winery’s products but also to expand his knowledge of winemaking, which he continued to do later, visiting major European winemaking regions.

In 2017 he completes the full relocation and modernization of the winery, always assisted by his wife Eleftheria. He hired the best oenologists to develop the Winery’s wines and, in 2019, with chemist/oenologist Giannis Charkoutsis, the first complete line of wines of Amargiotakis Winery was created and released on the market.

The Winery can be visited throughout the year and it organizes, after reservation, guided tours and wine tasting.
