Winery: VENETSANOS

Venetsanos winery is located in Megalochori, right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition of producing wine. It was built in 1947 by the Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguishing feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards. Today Venetsanos manages 15 hectares of vineyards mostly with Assyrtiko and also Athiri, Aidani, Platani, Mavrotragano, and Mandilaria varieties.
