Achaia Clauss winery fire and recovery

Overview

A devastating fire occurred on the morning of September 5 at the historic Achaia Clauss winery in Patras. The blaze completely destroyed the stone Daniilidis cellar and damaged a nearby 19th-century clock tower. While the destruction was described by winery representatives as ‘shocking’, fire services and staff prevented the flames from spreading to forested areas or the winery’s historical archive, which was successfully protected.

Following the incident, the winery proceeded with its ‘Open Harvest 2026’ event on September 12, after a brief postponement. The event allowed participants to engage in traditional wine production processes, including manual grape picking and crushing in wooden vats.
