The eruption of Santorini left the island with a very moist soil, perfect for producing good grapes for wine.

There are several indigenous grapes to the island and there are many local wines. The list of wine producers that follows highlights houses that are open to wine tasting. Even if that is not stated, it is a good idea to ring as they still may offer this opportunity.
 

Assyrtiko

A superb dry wine also used for producing dessert wines, Assyrtiko is one of the most common grapes on the island.
 

Aidani

Also a dry grape used for producing dessert wines as well as the ordinary dry, less common than the Assyrtiko.

Athiri

A very popular white used only for making dry, crisp wines.
 

Brouska

One of the older grapes on the island, though less common now, usually used for rose or red wines.
 

Nykteri

Literally means ‘night-work’ as this was the traditional time to reap the harvest of this grape – before dawn. Another dry, crisp white wine.
 

Vinsanto

An excellant dessert wine made exclusively from Assyrtiko or Aidani grapes.
