Domaine Hélios Suites

For over 25 years, on the slopes of Pendeli in the lands of Dionysus and his mother Semeli, George Kokotos has been practising the ageold art of fine wine production; giving to his wines the name of their muse “Semeli”. During the latter part of the 1970’s, George Kokotos, a civil engineer by profession, created a small winery in Stamata, Attica. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of Penteli, the mountain that gave its marble for the building of the Parthenon. It was here, according to the legends of Ancient Greece, that Dionysus, the mythological God of Wine, and his mother Semeli lived. The Semeli winery is a boutique estate, focusing on the production of high quality, handcrafted wines. There has been a continuous refinement of techniques in the cellar and a deeper understanding of the terroir with each vintage. Commercial success followed, with national and international acclaim. Determined to preserve Semeli’s commitment to quality, but also not to overlook market opportunities, Kokotos created a second estate named Domaine Helios in the appellation region of Nemea in the Peloponnese.

There is a tavern where someone can enjoy a light meal admiring the whole Nemea valley as well as Zeria Mountain.
