Christoforos Pavlidis |
Ktima Pavlidis is a member of AVVNG (Association of Viniculturists of the Vineyard of Northern Greece) and the estate winery is a key point along the Wine Roads Of Macedonia.
The area of Drama has always been one of the most traditional grape growing and winemaking regions of Greece due to its unique soil and climate conditions. Many places near the city of Drama were reported to be places of worship of the ancient Greek god of wine Dionysus (many of these rituals still survive in various forms today).
