John and Sandra Zahoudanis founded Demetria Estate in 2005 to uphold John’s Greek heritage and family tradition of farming and careful stewardship of the land. They named their splendid estate after their daughter who shares the same name as the ancient Greek goddess of harvest, Demetria.

The 213-acre property stands proudly in the hills above Foxen Canyon in the Santa Ynez Valley, California. The rolling terrain is the highest in the appellation, with vineyards ranging in elevation from 1,100 to 1,450 feet. Planted exclusively to Rhône varieties, the vineyards cover 46 acres of steep, north facing hills.
