Efrosini Winery

In Kerassia, Heraklion, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, lies a small family-owned winery with a deep love and respect for the land. Its story began in 1999, when Antonis Kosmadakis and Maria Tylaki decided to breathe new life into their ancestral farmland. Where Sultana grapes had once been cultivated for raisin production, they planted Greek and indigenous wine grape varieties, establishing their own vineyard.

From the very beginning, they embraced organic farming, driven by their respect and love for nature. This commitment continues to this day, with organic certification from BIO Hellas.

In 2004, the winery was established, marking the beginning of its first wines. The area lies within the PDO Dafnes wine region, home to Liatiko, one of Crete's most distinctive indigenous grape varieties.

The name "Euphrosyne" derives from the ancient Greek verb euphraínō, meaning "to bring joy" or "to delight". After all, as the ancient saying goes: "Wine gladdens the heart of man."
