Arvanitis Winery

Among the new wineries and new winemakers of Santorini whose wines honor Greece abroad, there is an "old" one: Antonis Arvanitis, who welcomes you to his winery, the Antonis Arvanitis Winery in Megalochori, with the warmth that distinguishes him. Here visitors can drink the old Nychteri, a wine made from overripe grapes that are fermented in old French or Russian barrels -- the wine that everyone drank on the island and in its tavernas years ago, before the Assyrtico became the most sought-after Greek wine. At the family winery of Mr. Antonis, you will find the barrels lined up next to each other, with taps for serving and wine names written in chalk: Nychteri, Rosé, Brousko, Mezzo, and Vinsanto. For those who relish the old tastes and "old" people with nostalgia, a visit to Antonis Arvanitis' Winery promises a lot.
