The company’s founder, Nicos Lazaridis, wanted to create a modern product, able to represent Greece and to highlight the dynamic of modern art which has blossomed in our country the last 30 years.
His personal interest on visual arts is reflected in the Winery, where he introduces to the public contemporary Greek and foreign artists.
The works of all these important artists, which are also depicted on our wine labels, are gathered at the art gallery «Magic Mountain». Their number has increased through the years and the public can visit and admire the works of acclaimed Greek and foreign painters and sculptors.
The creative relation that links the NICO LAZARIDI Winery with art is strong and constant. The Mackedon Winery hosts pieces of art from the painter Efthimios Varlami’ collection.
The collection’s first and last works of art are two portraits of the Greek god Dionysus, while its main theme is «the woman», to whom the current century is dedicated. Woodcarved pieces of art of Yaro Tusser are also exhibited in the gallery.
Works that balance between realism and the fantastical, thematic cycles drawn from history, mythology, and allegory—each creation by Yiannis Nikou stands out for the power of its imagery and light. At Château Nico Lazaridi, visitors can explore this unique artistic world and pause to appreciate the details that make his art distinctive.
