PROFILE 2020-21

With a winemaking history that spans five generations, in 1993 the Argyrides family embarked on the transformation of the listed 200-year-old family home into a state-of-the-art boutique winery that proudly cultivates 100% of its own grapes in the renowned terroir of Laona.

As with all heritage endeavors, Argyrides Vineyards combine their respect for their roots with an appreciation of contemporary high standards, blending a love of wine with the intricacies of modern viticulture.

PROFILE 2020-21


The modern winery is the legacy of Pambos Argyrides, who joined his father in 1986 to share their common passion for making wine. The first production was a failure, but only spurred the desire to perfect the process from point zero: the vineyards.

PROFILE 2020-21

In 2011, his daughters Rebecca and Andriana, together with their mother, continue his dream and legacy. The combined expertise of the winery’s dedicated team and their professional external consultants ensures that the future of Argyrides winemaking is in the best hands.
