WHO WE ARE
Artisans Vignerons de Naoussa is a collective of dedicated winegrowers committed to cultivating the Xinomavro grape in the historic, hillside vineyards of the Naoussa region in Northern Greece. Formed with the purpose of promoting sustainable viticulture, the group focuses on responsible farming practices that highlight the natural character and quality of the local terroir.
The philosophy of the partnership centers on sourcing only premium grapes and applying minimal-intervention winemaking techniques to ensure that every wine reflects purity, authenticity, and a strong sense of place. This approach consistently delivers high-quality wines that showcase the depth, structure, and elegance of Xinomavro.
Naoussa Region is located in North of Greece in the historical area of Imathia.
Expanding beyond its historic base in Naoussa, the group has extended its activities into additional vine-growing areas across Northern Greece. Under the broader brand name Artisans Vignerons du Nord, the collective now produces an enhanced portfolio of wines made not only from Xinomavro but also from other indigenous Greek varieties and select international grapes. This strategic growth strengthens their regional presence and offers wine enthusiasts a wider range of authentic, terroir-driven expressions from Northern Greece.
