Mount Athos Monastery Wines

The Athos Peninsula, despite the geographical difficulty and the wildness of its landscape, has always been a great vineyard since ancient times. The founder of the monastic state of Mount Athos, Saint Athanasios the Athonite, drawing up the first charter of Mount Athos, states that each monastery must have its own vineyard. Since then, organized viticulture in the Garden of Virgin Mary has been practiced continuously for more than a thousand years until today. Here, the microclimate of Mount Athos and its special vineyards, create such conditions, that are unique for the entire Balkan Peninsula and the North Aegean. So, welcome to the tour of the fruits on the Mount Athos vineyard.
