Santorini Wineries
Santorini is famous for its wineries. The volcanic
materials are said to be very good for the grapes. The vines are
placed in hollows and encouraged to grow basket-style.
The rocky
island soil has long produced a plentiful grape harvest, and the
local wines are among the finest in Greece. Be sure to visit one
of the island wineries for a tasting. Here are but
a few...

Wine for us is art, made with love and care.. and for that reason we have gathered all the necessary elements.

With a great deal of daring, and driven by a love for the knowledge about and production of quality wine, the Hatzidakis winery was born in 1996 in the minds of its creators, Haridimos and Konstantina.
The privately-owned vineyard of the Hatzidakis family, which is in the VQPRD zone (vin de qualité produit dans une région déterminée), was already home to a building constructed in the volcanic rock - the traditional 'caves' of Santorini. In 1997, after a great deal of hard work, it was literally transformed into a small winery. An essential factor leading towards the excellent result was the extra special efforts made by its owners and, of course, their passion for creation which, from then until now, has lead the Hatzidakis winery through steady steps of progress.

Canava Roussos, the oldest on Santorini, was founded in 1836 to produce high quality wines uniquely expressing the characters of the numerous varieties of Thiran grapes.
Decades of experience have passed from generation to generation so that, with consistency, continuity and absolute respect, expression is given to the island's art of wine-making.
