Toplou Winery

In the heart of eastern Crete, Toplou Monastery was founded in the 15th century and is distinguished by its historical and cultural heritage. The monastery’s winery, operating with respect for tradition and ecology, serves as a reference point for the production of organic wines, which derive their unique flavor from the poor soils and the Mediterranean climate of the region.

The local varieties are cultivated with utmost care and respect for tradition, promoting sustainability and natural balance. Each wine bearing the signature of Toplou Monastery invites you on a flavorful journey that combines the rich history of Crete with the art of winemaking.
