Artemis Karamolegos Winery

Traces its roots back to 1952. It is inextricably linked to Santorini’s volcanic vineyards and winemaking tradition. Nowadays, their wines keep earning prizes at international and domestic competitions while they are currently the third largest winery of Santorini in terms of production volume.

Gaia Wines

This wine estate is located on a beach, on the east side of the island, between Kamari and Monolithos hamlets. Its industrial stone building was once a tomato factory, built at the beginning of the 1900´s and was used up until the 1970´s for making aromatic tomato purée from local cherry tomatoes. Today, it has been transformed into a modern winery with high-tech equipment and cutting-edge facilities that guarantee contemporary winemaking and ideal conditions for high-quality production.

Estate Argyros

It was established in 1903, but the Argyros family has been involved in wine production for decades before that. It is the largest private owner of vineyards in Santorini and the current landholdings exceed 120 ha, a vast, four-generations-long investment.

Hatzidakis Winery

This wine estate was founded in 1997 and today still cultivates 10 hectares of vineyards and most of them are organic.

OENO P has quickly gained a reputation for producing some of the finest wines in Santorini, attracting wine lovers from around the world. The winery’s commitment to quality and its picturesque location make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the rich wine culture of the island.

Anhydrous Cellar Door Winery

In Greek, Anhydrous means “without water.” This winery creates unique wines, created by the earth, the volcanic rocks, and the sea breeze. These elements are reflected in the fruit meeting the smoky minerals and the incredible levels of acidity and the solid structure.

Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum

Located on beautiful Santorini, the Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum has everything a visitor would want to know about winemaking in one of the most unique places on earth.

Family Traveller

Yiannis was a great tour guide for our day in Santorini, Greece. My son, my daughter, and I thoroughly enjoyed our day exploring the island and seeing all of the amazing sights of the “real” Santorini. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed learning about the soil that grows the incredible grapes on the island. Our wine tasting was phenomenal and we learned so much from Yiannis. I would highly recommend him for a guide if you’d like to enjoy a unique experience on Santorini
