Tsantalis

Since 1890 the Tsantalis family has been occupied with vine growing, wine and distillate making. Evaggelos Tsantalis was born in the region of Sidirochori, in the Prefecture of East Thrace, in 1913. He was just nine years old when his family settled down in Serres where, in 1938, he established his first winery. In 1945, he moved to the city of Thessaloniki and established a distillery for ouzo and in 1970, he founded a further winery in Naoussa. The Tsantalis winery today owns vineyards located at the regions of Agios Pavlos in Halkidiki, Metochi Chromitsa in Agio Oros, Maronia in Thrace, Rapsani in Olympos and the historical Naoussa. The whole concept of the company is based on the cultivation of land with respect towards the environment and the tradition of the region, while applying at the same time modern cultivation techniques. Nowadays, the third generation of the family still produces wines, ouzo and tsipouro of high quality according to the principles of the past and the secret recipe of the family.
