Gavalas Winery ★ 4.6
Five-generation Gavalas family canava in the centre of Megalochori, producing roughly 90,000 bottles a year across 11 wines. The range includes monovarietal bottlings of Katsano (white) and Voudomato (red), two heritage island grapes seldom seen as single varieties elsewhere on Santorini.
Tasting: Year-round; intimate tasting room at the family canava in central Megalochori. Tasting flights include monovarietal bottlings of the rare indigenous Katsano (white) and Voudomato (red), seldom vinified as single varieties on Santorini.
Signature wines: Gavalas Santorini Assyrtiko, Gavalas Katsano, Gavalas Voudomato, Gavalas Vinsanto
Tip: Visit specifically for the Katsano and Voudomato; monovarietal bottlings of these heritage island grapes are uncommon at other Santorini cellar doors.
