Louloudis Winery began its operation in Dafnes, Heraklion in 1920, with a family tradition spanning three generations. At that time, grandfather Antonis Louloudis cultivated liatiko, takta and kotsifali in his vineyards. With scant means, bags made of animal skins were filled with wine from wooden barrels and they were transported to Heraklion by cart.

In 1974 his sons take over the winery and they upgrade it. They store the wine in concrete tanks and wooden barrels and they transport it in plastic barrels.

In 1999, grandson Antonis takes over the management and in 2004 he plants new local Greek and international wine grape varieties such as: moschato spinas, thrapsathiri, vidiano, plyto, syrah, merlot, sauvignon blanc etc.

In 2012, the state-of-the-art winery-bottling plant began its operation, and the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks and aged in oak barrels.

The initial bottling of the new Louloudis Winery occurs in 2016 with “Bad Bird” («Κακό Πουλί») white and red wine, whereas in 2017 and 2018, 5 new labels are added.

A new era begins just before the winery’s 100th anniversary.
