Gaia Winery Santorini

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.

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!

Really surprised by the setting. On the beach, your own table and great service. Great wines and was a pleasure to visit in person. Also bonus you can spot planes landing behind you!

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!

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

Had an absolutely wonderful time here during our wine tasting! We tasted eight different wines and it was extremely reasonably priced. Our hostess was incredibly nice, knowledgeable and funny and made sure we had the best time. Besides the tasty wine and amazing service, the view is also breathtaking especially when you're there to witness the sunset. Highly recommend!
