Welcome to Diamantakis Winery, a family owned, modern winery, which is located southwest of the city of Heraklion, in the village of Kato Assites, at the foothills of Mountain Psiloritis at an altitude of 450m.
The vision of the Diamantakis family for the production of high quality wine, the long tradition in viticulture and the privately owned vineyard (15 hectares), led to the creation of the Diamantakis Winery in 2007 and the first bottling in 2009. Since then, the vineyard has gradually developed, as it has the number of produced wines that have traveled and continue to travel the world, constantly winning awards and medals in international wine competitions.
The purpose of the family remains the same, the cultivation and use of native varieties (Vidiano, Assyrtiko, Liatiko and Mandilaria) which will be harmoniously combined with the unique microclimate of the region to create fine wines. With love for the vine that we have learned to cultivate with respect and care, we take care to preserve our native vine varieties by taking advantage of the unique microclimate of the area
