OUR STORY

Rooted in history. Crafted for today.

People are crushing grapes with their feet in a large wooden barrel.

At Symposium Cellars, wine is more than a drink. It's a bridge to centuries of tradition, conversation, and culture.
Inspired by ancient symposiums where ideas and wine flowed freely, we craft modern Greek wines rooted in excellence and authenticity.

"We don’t just make wine. We tell stories of land, lineage, and legacy."
