Gaia Winery Santorini

Had an amazing afternoon here, sitting by the beach drinking great wines. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and made it a memorable experience. Recommend to anyone that likes wine or just enjoys a relaxing fun experience!

Visit to Gaia Winery this afternoon was fantastic. Table for two on the beach, tasting five of their wines - three whites (Assyrtiko, Moschofilero and an Assyrtiko/Roditis/Moschofilero blend) a rosé (Agiorgitiko/Syrah) and a red (Agiorgitiko). Our sommelier was really good - she described all the wines, provided a lot of information, then left us alone to enjoy sampling the wines at our leisure. All the wines were very good but (not included in the tasting) their white Santorini Thalassitis does stand out - we tried a small glass and bought a bottle. The wines were accompanied by some delicious cheeses. Here, quoting from their menu, as a record for my reference: "GRAVIERA" FROM IOS Yellow-gold cheese, produced from fresh pasteurized cow (80%) and sheep (20%) milk. Tasty and balanced. "FRAGKOSYRIANI" FROM SYROS The cheese is produced in limited quantities, exclusively from Pasteurized milk, mainly cow milk and a small quantity of sheep and goat milk, with at least three months of ripening which gives a spicy flavor and intense, full taste. Its golden skin makes it look like Parmesan. "VOLAKI" FROM ANDROS It takes the name from its round shape. Soft and butter taste produced from 100% cow milk. "MPOYRNIA" FROM ANDROS The Andriotic version of Kopanisti made from 100% cow milk. A soft yellow-ivory cheese with intense pepper taste and good thickness. This last cheese really surprised me. It was a white (or off-white) cheese that tasted like a blue cheese.

A wonderful setting for wonderful wine. Very good knowledgeable staff. Recommend it to everyone visiting Santorini.

This place is amazing, the tasting menus are so affordable and the wine is delicious. Such a beautiful setting too, it’s right on the beach. The sound of the waves provided such a lovely backdrop. Elena (hope I spelled her name correctly) was incredible, so kind and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t skip this winery.

We did the grand tasting, and it was really great. Excellent value for money, and the wines were delicious. The tasting expert was lovely and really knowledgeable. The sea views whilst tasting were also really special!

We had a few hours before we had to be at the airport for our flight so we thought we would pop here for some wine and cheese board. It was absolutely fantastic. The sound of the ocean, the brilliant wine and attentive staff made it such a wonderful and relaxing experience before we catch our flight. I would highly recommend.

What a lovely wine tasting experience! It was raining outside and it was fully booked, but we still managed to get in. A wonderful woman told us all about the wines in detail, and at the end we even got a small tour. I warmly recommend this to everyone!

Beautiful winery located on the beach, tasty wine, tasting is 30€ per 7 wines
