Gaia is a laid back and charming beachfront winery, located directly on the water in Perivolia, between Kamari and Monolithos. Housed in a former tomato processing factory, Gaia produces Assyrtiko-based wines, vinsanto, and small quantities of sweet Assyrtiko vinegar. Open seasonally for tours and tastings from May to October: 30-45 minutes and 4 wines (€8/person), or 8 wines and 45-60 minutes (€15/person). Reservations are recommended for tours and tastings, but drop-ins are welcomed and accommodated. There is no proper restaurant on site, but meat and cheese platters are available to enjoy with tastings, and dinner can be prepared and served at the winery with 2-3 days advance request. There are also restaurants in nearby Kamari – a 20-minute walk or easy bus ride away. Plenty of parking is available on site. Gaia Wines is located behind the Santorini Airport, directly on the Fira-Kamari bus route, with a stop just next door. (If taking the bus, ask the driver to let you off at Gaia Wines as you board.) This is one of two wineries that Gaia Wines owns in Greece; the second is in Nemea in the Peloponnese.

Gaia Wines Santorini

Gaia Wines is a small, casual, beachfront winery in Perivolia (near Exo Gonia), on Santorini’s east coast.

The winery sits directly on a pebbly beach between Kamari and Monolithos.

Gaia Wines is open for tours and tastings from May to October: 30-45 minutes and 4 wines (€8/person), or 45-60 minutes and 8 wines (€15/person).

The large tasting area at Gaia Wines can accommodate groups, but reservations are recommended. Smaller groups of drop-ins are welcomed and accommodated.

Gaia Wines has no restaurant on site, but meat and cheese platters are available to enjoy with tastings. Dinner can be prepared and served at the winery with 2-3 days advance request.

The winery is housed within a former tomato processing factory.

The building’s interior has been repurposed to accommodate the modern winemaking process. Gaia produces Assyrtiko-based wines, vinsanto, and small quantities of sweet Assyrtiko vinegar.

To find the winery, look for the sign off the beach-front road that runs between Kamari and Monolithos. (This photo is looking south, toward Kamari.) Or ask the bus driver on the Fira-Kamari route to drop you there. The bus stop is just next door to the winery.

Plenty of parking is available in Gaia Wines’ on-site parking area.
