Additional Information

Stop by the winery (Volcan Wines) and its accompanying wine museum situated in Santorini Vothonas on the way to Kamari beach. Established in 1880, the business is family-owned.

Earlier machinery is now replaced by stainless steel, and traditional wooden tools and implements are phased out. Wine production is conducted in the traditional manner, within a versatile infrastructure unit. This building houses the production facility and an intriguing wine museum which is 8 meters below ground level and spans 300 meters. The museum displays the history of wine and life of Santorini’s farmers from 1660 to the 1950s through movable and immovable exhibits, complete with sound effects to enhance your self-guided tour.

Quaint - It was a quaint museum with very friendly people. It was a bit old and tired , but interesting. Of course we were there in a very hot day and couldn’t enjoy the outdoors area.
