Olympus Wines, Litochoro | Wine Tasting & Local Wineries

Olympus Wines is a wine tasting room and modern wine bar in the centre of Litochoro, at the foothills of Mount Olympus, created through the collaboration of three local Pierian wineries: Kourtis Winery, Papagiannoulis Winery and Mythical Mountain of the Grammatos family.

The idea brings three local wine producers together under one roof, creating a place where visitors can discover wines from different producers and grape varieties without having to travel between separate wineries.

Around 20 wines from the three wineries are available for tasting and take-away, including both single-variety wines and blends. The selection includes Greek varieties such as Assyrtiko, Malagouzia, Xinomavro and Vidiano alongside international varieties including Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The three wineries each bring their own character to the experience. Kourtis Winery is a family winery from Rachi, Pieria, with its own vineyards, vinification and wine maturation in oak barrels. Papagiannoulis Winery contributes wines including Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, Agiorgitiko, Syrah and Muscat-based wines. Mythical Mountain, the winery of the Grammatos family in Litochoro, works with varieties including Assyrtiko, Malagouzia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah.

At Olympus Wines, wine is not treated simply as something to drink. The specially designed space is built around tasting, conversation and discovering the character of local wines. Wine can be enjoyed by itself or accompanied by small bites, local specialities and cold plates that complement the tasting experience.

The space also has a creative and cultural side. Olympus Wines has hosted wine presentations, exhibitions, live music and artistic events, transforming the tasting room into a meeting point for wine, food, culture and people.

Special events have also included presentations of other wineries from the Olympus and Pieria area, giving visitors the opportunity to discover producers, their wines and the stories behind them.

Located close to the centre of Litochoro, Olympus Wines is an easy stop before or after exploring the town, the Enipeas Gorge and the wider Mount Olympus area. For visitors interested in Greek wine, it offers a different way to discover Pieria through the people, vineyards and wines of the region.
