Yiannis Tselepos was born in 1955 in Pafos on the island of Cyprus. He studied Oenology at the University of Dijon in France, where he graduated in 1978. For 2 years he remained in Burgundy and worked at several wineries in the region. In 1981 he moved to Arcadia in the Peloponnese where he has since been involved in every harvest, in the beginning as an oenologist and eventually with his own winery. Tselepos has been one of the pioneers who helped establish and bring to prominence the Moschofilero grape and Shis name is closely associated with the so-called Greek Wine Renaissance.

 Together with his wife Amalia, Yiannis Tselepos established Domaine Tselepos in 1989. They chose the perfect location just outside the village of Rizes on the hillside of Mount Parnon, very close to Ancient Tegea. This unique ecosystem is at an altitude of 750m with very cold winters and cool summers which together with the local clay and rocky soils were chosen for their ability to produce top quality wines. The 30 hectares lined vineyard is setup with the optimal orientation and planting density to assure the maximum of sunshine and appropriate air circulation.

This modern winery is located 14km from the town of Tripoli. The winery is designed for maximum efficiency and was built to adhere to the local traditional architectural style.

The winery is located in the region of ancient Tegea. Here one can visit the ruins of the temple of the goddess Athena. It is also very close to Mantinia where the temple of Dionysus can be found. According to ancient mythology, the area surrounding the winery, including the southern part of Parnon, were the hiding places of the ancient god Pan who accompanied Dionysus in his joyous celebrations. In this same area are the quaint traditional villages of Doliana, Kastri and Agios Petros
