Our
Philosophy
We are winemakers. We work for and with the land. We want to make wine that respects and represents the land that it comes from.
At Estates Costa Lazaridi, sustainability and sustainable viticulture begin where the vine meets the nature. In both Drama and Attica, our vineyards are not just places of cultivation- they are living and dynamic ecosystems. In our vineyards, every grape grows with the rhythm of the land, and every bottle carries the spirit of its ecosystem.
Drama
Vineyard
Minimal
Intervation
In the heart of Northern Greece, the vineyards of Drama unfold across gently sloping hills, surrounded by vegetation and protected natural areas. Just a breath away from Natura 2000 zones such as Mounts Falakro, Menoikio and Orvilos, our vines coexist with an extraordinary variety of native flora and fauna – from wild orchids and medicinal herbs to foxes, hawks, and golden eagles.
Natural hedgerows, wooded patches, and riparian ecosystems are preserved, allowing biodiversity to flourish. We nurture spontaneous vegetation between rows and limit interventions to protect delicate habitats. In this landscape of natural wealth, our vines absorb more than sun and soil – they absorb life itself.
Attica
Vineyards
Organic
Cultivation
Just outside Athens, along the tranquil shores of Lake Marathon, our organic vineyards thrive in one of Attica’s most scenic and unspoiled landscapes. This protected area, rich in biodiversity, blends history, natural beauty, and a legacy of cultivation, from ancient olive groves to evergreen forested slopes.
While our winery is located in Kapandriti, surrounded by dense trees and lush greenery, the heart of our work beats in the lakeside vineyards. Here, cool breezes off the water and the unique microclimate shape wines of exceptional character.
We farm with care and respect, encouraging natural cover crops, supporting native species, and working in harmony with the land’s natural rhythm. This is more than a place where grapes grow — it is a sanctuary for nature and a source of inspiration for our wines.
In Attica, we believe nature should be accessible – even just a breath away from the city. This is not just sustainable viticulture. It’s our commitment.
At the heart of this approach lies a simple but powerful idea: when we care for the soil, we restore the balance of the entire ecosystem. Healthy soil gives life above and below the ground – it nurtures vines, supports biodiversity, and strengthens resilience against climate challenges.
Cultivating
with purpose
Regenerative viticulture is more than a method – it’s a philosophy rooted in deep respect for the land. A philosophy that aligns closely with our own.
At the heart of this approach lies a simple but powerful idea: when we care for the soil, we restore the balance of the entire ecosystem. Healthy soil gives life above and below the ground – it nurtures vines, supports biodiversity, and strengthens resilience against climate challenges. Today, all our vineyards, both in Drama and Attica, are officially certified by the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation, and we are proud members of a global community committed to restoring the vitality of agricultural landscapes.
Through practices like cover cropping, composting, and encouraging natural biodiversity, our vineyard becomes a living, breathing ecosystem. The soil grows richer. The vines grow stronger. And the fruit they bear carries the unmistakable imprint of place – full of minerality and nuance that only healthy, site-specific soil can deliver.
Regenerative agriculture also holds promise far beyond the vineyard. By capturing carbon in the soil and reducing atmospheric CO₂, it’s one of the most hopeful paths we have to help reverse climate change.
It’s a slower, more mindful path – but one that leads to deeper expression in the grapes and a truer reflection of the terroir in every bottle. Our commitment to sustainability is not static – it’s evolving. With every harvest, we grow our knowledge. With every step, we strengthen our connection to the ecosystems that gives us our wines.
Because great wines don’t begin in a bottle. Great wines are born in the vineyard
