Santo Wines
A working winery on the caldera rim with terraces aimed straight at the volcano and the most famous sunset in Greece.
Santo Wines sits high on the caldera near Pyrgos, with open terraces that look across the Aegean to the volcano and the sunset that Santorini is loved for. As a working cooperative winery it pairs that view with its own wine and an easy, unfussy setting.
It suits a couple who want the iconic caldera backdrop for a medium sized celebration without the cramped scale of a cliffside Oia terrace. The view is the headline, and the timing of the day revolves around the sunset.
