Marinos studied Greek Culture at the Hellenic Open University, attended Folklore courses at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and has completed a series of seminars in History, Philosophy, Journalism and New Media.

He has been a teacher for 35 years but wine has always been his hobby. He was a founding member of Athenian Cellier Club in 1989, and a member of the OINEAS club, (Domaine Hatzimichalis). He studied with the WSPC and Velum International to gain a broader knowledge of wine making, vine growing, production, taste, marketing and tourism.

His travels in Greece and abroad to meet wine makers and tell their stories are featured in allwinestories.com. His aim is to bring wine culture to everyone. He is currently undertaking a study on the sustainability of the vineyards.

“MedFoodHeroes” is an initiative that shows to all of us the efforts made by some people who continuously operate with respect and love for the environment. They are leading the way of how we can all contribute in the biggest threat of climate change, the healthy habits of living and the respect to the traditions.
