Achaia Clauss Winery is situated in Petroto, under the mountain Panachaiko and 8 km from the center of Patras.

The history of Achaia Clauss starts in the 19th century, when the Bavarian Gustav Clauss, impressed from Patras and the vineyards of the region, decided to set up wineries. He acquires an area at the foot of Panachaiko and there gradually creates a the wine village with impressive stone towers and buildings. So starting in 1861, the Achaia Clauss winery prides itself to be the oldest winery in Greece.

In 1873 the famous wine Mavrodaphne is created in Achaia Clauss, a sweet and strong wine that was immediately loved both in Greece and abroad. A barrel of this 1873 first wine, perhaps the oldest wine of Greece, is kept until today in the cellars of the winery. Mavrodaphne and other excellent wines of Achaia Clauss, quickly established it as an outstanding winery in the minds of consumers.

From 1920 onwards, the winery passed into Greek hands continuing to grow dynamically. Today Achaia Clauss, besides being a major winery, also performs cultural work. In its architecturally impressive buildings and other sites, conferences are organized together with exhibitions and cultural or social events.
