This thesis is about the creation of a winery in an area with vineyards in Ano Diakopto, in the mountainous region of Aegialeia. The study area is located at an altitude of 800 m, at 15 km of the Diakopto - Kalavryta country road.The vineyard ecosystem of a total area of 11,000 hectares extends on the slopes of Aegilia at an altitude of 300 to 1,100 meters in a northeast direction and is protected from the high summer temperatures by the mountains of the region and the cool air from the Gulf of Corinth. This combination makes Aigialeia a particularly privileged wine-growing region, with some of the most beautiful vineyards in the country, producing high quality wines certified as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Geographical Indication (PGI).
On a piece of land on the slopes of Ano Diakoptan next to the Vouraikos Gorge, I have chosen to design a winery based on the potential of the visitability. A building that combines education and enjoyment was the inspiration for the design of this winery, giving visitors the opportunity to see the wine making process up close in the place where the wine is produced and to taste the varieties that the region produces. The winery consists of wine production areas, areas dedicated to the public, educational areas and the areas for administrative staff and employees.
