It is the only urban vineyard nationwide. About 480 plants of wine-making varieties were planted: Xinomavro, Agiorgitiko, Malagouzia and Robola were the four Greek grape varieties that had been chosen. The urban vineyard gives added value to the reputation of Thessaloniki and strengthens the narrative of the wine and culinary culture of the city.
