WINE TASTING AT ACHAIA CLAUSS
The sweet red wine that Gustav Clauss first produced in 1873 was given the name “Mavrodaphne” in honor of Daphne, his Greek beloved and her beautiful black eyes (Mavro means black in Greek), who died at a young age. Gustav Clauss is thought to have invented and established the concept of ‘wine tourism’ in Greece following the visit of Austro-Hungarian Empress Sissi in 1885, in whose honor he even named a wine cellar (Imperial Cellar).
