Alexakis Winery is a true family affair. It was founded in the 1970s by Stelios Alexakis, a Chemical Engineer and Oenologist, and Sofia Alexakis. Today, it is carried on by their sons, Lazaros Alexakis, an oenologist trained at the University of Florence, and Apostolos Alexakis, an oenologist educated at Fresno State University in California.

Alexakis Winery is the largest privately-owned winery in Crete. For decades, it has collaborated with grape growers across the island, building long-standing relationships and gaining deep knowledge of the unique characteristics of the Cretan vineyard.

This expertise allows us to select vineyard plots with distinct character for each grape variety we vinify. With a commitment to top-quality raw materials, our work begins in the field.
