Who we are

About the farm

We are one of the oldest wineries on Santorini, in the traditional village of Megalochori: our family has been making wine since the end of the 18th century, for five generations, and today fourth-generation George Gavalas and his son Vagelis run the winery. In the old stone-built canava, where we have kept the original cellars and grape-stomping rooms alongside a modern section, we make about 80,000–100,000 bottles a year from indigenous varieties — Assyrtiko, Aidani, Mandilaria, Mavrotragano and the rare Katsano and Voudomato, which we are the only winery on the island to vinify. From April to October, 11:00–19:00, we offer guided tours and tasting packages, and we ship our wines from our online shop to many European countries.
