“Our story begins with love.

Georgós Zanganas, Founder and President

I met Sophia while working as an engineer in San Francisco. She had travelled to Greece, and we bonded instantly over our love of the island of Santorini, the Mediterranean, and all of the things I had come to miss from home.

While I could easily find other products (Greek yogurt, olive oil, etc.), I could not find an excellent Greek wine to share with Sophia. I had stopped drinking wine since arriving in America. I was regularly experiencing headaches and red flushes, which I never had drinking Greek wine. Sharing the clean, flavorsome wines from home with new friends became my motivation for starting Georgós Wines.

Like Ulysses in the Odyssey, I traveled the world and gained experiences, and finally had the revelation that my calling was to create the wines from my birthplace; this time in my new home of California.

“Enjoying a glass or two of wine should not be an invitation to a roaring headache.”

Georgós Zanganas, Founder and President

After moving to America to work as an engineer, Georgós experienced that a glass of wine was an invitation to a roaring headache. Back home, he never experienced these symptoms from Greek wine. Greek wine generally has lower alcohol, which could mean that Greek wine would produce less headaches. While he could easily find other Greek products (yogurt, olive oil, etc.), he could not find Greek wines at local retail stores and restaurants.

Using sustainable practices, he decided to import the highest quality fruit to make wines suitable for the American taste; fruit forward, soft tannins, and clean tasting. These Super-Premium Greek Wines are handcrafted, blended, finished and bottled with reduced sulfites, which at higher levels can cause allergic reactions, in Sonoma Valley.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Our Craft

We care about our wines which we make
without additives. This is why you should always ask:
“What’s in the wine that I am drinking?”
