Domaine Sigalas: Unveiling Santorini’s Winemaking Heritage

Nestled among the scenic vines of Oia in northern Santorini, Domaine Sigalas winery showcases the island’s rich winemaking legacy. With 40 hectares of sustainably cultivated vineyards, the winery produces 200,000 bottles of wine annually. Crafted with great attention to the varieties of Santorini and the Cyclades, Domaine Sigalas has become a prominent exporter of Greek wines worldwide, while also delighting wine lovers across Greece.

Santorini is not just a beautiful holiday destination; it boasts a winemaking heritage spanning thousands of years. The eruption of 1620 BC wiped out the original vines but blessed the land with its rugged terrain, contrasting the azure blue Aegean Sea. The slopes of the dormant volcano require special vine shapes, low baskets that withstand the wind. Founded in 1991, many of Sigalas’ vines are over 50 years old, producing the island’s renowned Assyrtiko wine with its rich and salty flavors.

Visitors can tour the modern winery in Baxedes, exploring the winemaking process before indulging in tastings accompanied by local cuisine on the west-facing terrace. With breathtaking sunset views, the terrace can be arranged for intimate dinners of up to 10 people, offering a celebration of the Cyclades.

Inside the winery, guests are welcomed to a tasting room and a comfortable patio with both sunny and shaded seating. The highly trained staff guides visitors through an unforgettable wine tasting experience. Award-winning wines from Domaine Sigalas tantalize the palate, showcasing the unique terroir of Santorini. Traditional culinary delights of Santorini and the Cyclades complement the wines, creating a harmonious fusion of taste and culture.

Domaine Sigalas invites you to embark on a sensory journey, where winemaking artistry intertwines with the splendor of Santorini. Immerse yourself in a world of unparalleled beauty and experience the remarkable heritage that defines the wines of Domaine Sigalas.
