Producer
Koukos
In the late 90s, brothers Panagiotis and Konstantinos Koukos decided to create Koukos Winery, and through it to share their love of good family wine. Driven by their great love of quality wine and having Konstantinos’ son, Antonis, by their side over the last three years, they came to create a small winemaking facility on the boundaries of the Strofylia ecosystem, 35 kilometres southwest of Patras. It is a modern family business, which relies exclusively on the production and bottling of wine from the family’s privately-owned vineyards, which are cultivated by the family itself by putting in a great deal of personal care and hard work.
