Tucked away in the idyllic countryside of Oia, Domaine Sigalas offers a serene escape where heritage meets innovation. Founded by Paris Sigalas, a mathematician turned winemaker, the winery is celebrated for its precise, terroir-driven wines. The estate specializes in the Assyrtiko grape, with acclaimed labels like “Kavalieros” and “Aa” showcasing the grape’s complexity. Lesser-known varieties such as Aidani and Mavrotragano also shine here, reflecting the diversity of the island’s viticulture.
Wine Tasting Experience
Enjoy seated tastings featuring up to 12 wines, paired with farm-to-table small plates. To delve deeper into the winemaking process, guests can also opt for ‘Volcano Divers’, a wine tour and taste immersion in five of Sigalas’ limited edition premium wines. The winery also hosts events.
