The winery’s journey began in 1954, when a group of visionary grape growers established the first small winery in Zitsa. This initiative was further bolstered by the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Ioannina, which, in 1974, founded the first modern winery in Northwestern Greece. By 1972, the wines from Zitsa’s vineyards, particularly those made from the white Debina grape variety, had already achieved recognition as PDO Zitsa wines under Greek law.
In June 2006, the winery took a decisive step forward, separating from the Union and emerging as ZOINOS WINERY.
