Louloudis Winery, located in Dafnes, Heraklion, Crete, traces its roots to 1920, when grandfather Antonis Louloudis began cultivating traditional Cretan grape varieties — Liatiko, Taktas, and Kotsifali.
Since 1999, his grandson, also named Antonis, has continued this century-old Cretan winemaking heritage, blending generations of tradition with a contemporary vision and deep respect for the land.
At the winery, special emphasis is placed on authentic Cretan grape varieties, expressing the unique terroir identity of Dafnes through every label.
