Gavalas Winery
Located on the southwestern plain of Megalochori in Santorini, Gavalas Winery is one of only three traditional “Canavas” (historic wineries) that still remain on the island.
Wine production began here in the 18th century, and today the estate owns about 3 hectares of vineyards in the villages
of Akrotiri, Megalochori, and Pyrgos. The winery is currently run by the 4th generation, George Gavalas, together with the 5th generation, Vangelis Gavalas.
The family is dedicated to producing wines exclusively from indigenous Santorini varieties, with the aim of expressing
the island’s unique terroir. Their vineyards are planted with Assyrtiko, Greece’s flagship white grape, as well as local
varieties such as Aidani, Mandilaria, Mavrotragano, Katsano, and Voudomato. Notably, Katsano was rediscovered by the
family while exploring the island, and Voudomato was first vinified as a wine by Gavalas themselves.
