Theotoky Estate
About the Winery
Theotoky Estate, nestled in the picturesque Ropa Valley of Corfu, Greece, is home to 4,000 olive trees and 5 hectares of vineyards.
As one of the oldest wineries in Greece — and the only certified organic estate on Corfu Island — it proudly carries a legacy spanning five generations.
The Theotoky family is one of the oldest families in Greece. John Theotoky, father of the prior owner, George Theotoky, studied at the famous Universität für Bodenkultur (University for Agriculture) in Vienna and was deeply attached to the land. John devoted himself to politics after the tragic death of his brother, who, as Minister of War, was executed in 1922 by the opposition, after the loss of the Asia Minor Campaign. He served three times as Minister of Agriculture and, in 1950 (as his father had been before him), became Prime Minister of Greece. The Theotokis family is an old landowning family in Corfu Island, Greece, several members of which have been prominent politicians. They originally hailed from Constantinople, from which they fled after the fall to the Ottomans, eventually settling in Corfu.
Open year-round, the estate welcomes guests for wine tastings accompanied by light snacks, visits to its charming museum, and overnight stays in its serene villa.
