Wines
As a true boutique hotel with just 22 accommodations and suites, we have focused on providing the finest in local wines to complete the authentic island experience that is Iconic Santorini.
The tradition of winemaking on Santorini dates back to the period following the eruption of this volcanic island. The resulting soil is very favourable for wine grapes, producing wines with balanced acidity and aromas unique as the island itself. With over 40 indigenous grape varietals available, our wine list should bring delight to all of our guests.
The most popular grape on the island is the Assyrtiko, which produces a dry, aromatic white wine. In early May of 2013, Wine Spectator’s Grand Tour event in San Francisco presented Santorini winery, Domaine Sigalas, choosing their 2012 Assyrtiko as one of the world’s 200 finest wines. Mandilaria and Mavrotragano are the leading red grapes of the island and two of the last holdouts of authentic foot-pressed wines, finished in the most modern methods.
