Oinoxeneia is a multidimensional festival organized by the Municipality of Aigialeia, Greece and the Municipal Welfare Business of Aigialeia (DIKEPA). The particularity of this event is a celebration of the unique regional wines and vineyards combined with the local gastronomy, geomorphology and cultural layers of Aigialeia.

Based on an interdisciplinary policy that brings together different threads of winery, culture and local identity, the main achievement of Oinoxeneia is the creation of a fruitful and dynamic hub of innovation revealing the attractive, sensory and hospitable character of Aigialeia.
