Gaia Winery Santorini

Gaia Winery is a distinctive winery, situated in Exo Gonia village, with a prime location overlooking the Black Beach. It can be found very close to the airport and specifically, between the villages of Kamari and Monolithos. Besides the spectacular location, the winery constitutes a brilliant example of industrial architecture, since it used to be an old stone tomato processing factory, built at the beginning of the 1900s, which has been converted into a modern winery. The Gaia Wines company was founded in 1994 by Yiannis Paraskevopoulos, who owns a Ph.D. in enology from the University of Bordeaux II, and Leon Karatsalos, who is an agronomist.

This historic and charming building has been transformed into a modern winery, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technology. Its beauty is highlighted by the trees that surround it and a swimming pool. Not to mention the fact that it lies by the sea, which makes it an adorable place to spend the day!

The winery is open to visitors daily from April to October, offering a wine-tasting experience, which includes four white and four red wines, a full range of Gaia Wines, and even those produced in the owners’ second winery in Nemea. What is more, Gaia winery produces great vinegar from Assyrtiko, which is offered to visitors. However, the star of Gaia’s wines is Thalassitis, an exceptional white wine that has become famous for its notable character.

Wine tastings are conducted on a beautiful, shaded patio along with a sea breeze! Guests can also visit the winemaking facilities, where Thalassitis, Thalassitis Oak Fermented, Assyrtiko by Gaia, Vinsanto of Gaia, and the aged vinegar are produced, and gain an insight into the production process.
