Costa Lazaridi Estate
Founded in Drama, Domaine Costa Lazaridi brings together vineyards, distillery and wine museum in a unique approach that combines Greek tradition, innovation and the promotion of a living heritage. The company produces wines as well as tsipouro, brandy and liqueurs, while preserving an identity deeply linked to its terroir.
A house founded on the ambition to reveal the potential of Greek terroir
Domaine Costa Lazaridi was founded in Drama in the 1970s, long before the region became a fixture on the Greek wine scene. At the time, Drama was not yet on the map of major vineyards, but Costa Lazaridis realized that the hilly terrain had rare potential. He planted grape varieties adapted to the continental climate and initiated a wine renaissance that would give Drama a central place in modern Greek wine. This choice marked the beginning of a vision that would combine the vine, distillation and cultural transmission.
A vineyard that combines Greek and international varieties
Today, the estates of Drama and Attica make up a rich wine-growing mosaic. Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot coexist with Assyrtiko and Agiorgitiko. Costa Lazaridi seeks a balance between Greek identity and international openness. Drama’s climate brings natural freshness, while the varied soils refine the aromatic profiles. The wines are becoming increasingly precise, contributing to the region’s reputation.
An integrated distillery: tsipouro, brandy and liqueurs by Lazaridi
The estate pursues its development by creating its own distillery. This structure produces tsipouro Idoniko, one of the estate’s most distinctive spirits. Copper distillation produces a clean, aromatic distillate that expresses the quality of the grapes. Methexis brandy shows another facet of the estate. It is the result of distillation of selected wines and controlled ageing, giving it remarkable depth. Liqueurs complete this universe, as does the ouzo produced in-house.
A model that combines wine, distillation and gastronomy
Domaine Costa Lazaridi is distinguished by a rare logic: to approach the grape in all its expressions. The wine becomes the basis of a broad identity. Tsipouro asserts the power of fruit. Brandy tells the story of time. Liqueurs prolong aromas. This all-encompassing vision gives coherence to the entire production process, and places the company among the country’s most complete players.
Oenotria Land: a museum dedicated to wine and distillation
In Attica, the company is developing a major cultural project: Oenotria Land. This museum traces the history of Greek wine and the evolution of distillation. It features archives, works of art, antique tools and historic stills. Visitors discover the company’s world through sensory trails and dedicated tasting areas. Oenotria Land embodies Costa Lazaridi’s commitment to preserving and passing on a living heritage.
A constant search for balance between tradition and modernity
The estate is modernizing its infrastructure while respecting its foundations. The cellars combine ancient techniques with contemporary equipment. The distillery adopts precise methods to enhance aromatic consistency. The company always favors quality over industrial production. This consistency reinforces its place as one of Greece’s most respected producers.
A home that embodies the diversity of contemporary Greece
Costa Lazaridi reflects a Greece that cultivates, distills, innovates and tells its story. Each branch of the company bears a part of this identity: the vineyard expresses the terroir, the spirits prolong the tradition, the museum transmits the culture. The company brings these dimensions together with a vision that goes beyond mere production.
