Hello George and Gavalas Family !

This is George Pappas.. My wife Sandy, Daughter Marina, and I visited you 10 years ago! We had a great time with you at the beach at our hotel, at your home, and at your winery. We enjoyed meeting you all.. it made our visit to Santorini very special. I also remember that Marina our daughter and Dimitra were sending some notes to each other after that.
Sandy and I will be visiting Santorini again.. this time we will be staying at a hotel in Megalachori, so we will be able to visit you again ! We will be arriving next week Wednesday.. hope to see you then.

Love, George and Sandy Pappas

About Winery and Wines

The Gavalas family has been exclusively engaged in the vinification of the indigenous varieties grown in Santorini, since the end of the 19th century. Up until the 1920¢s the family produced wines from grapes grown in their privately-owned vineyards and vinted in their winery (canava) in Megalochori. This production was mainly distributed to customers throughout the island of Santorini as well as being exported to the city of Alexandria, in Egypt. Later on in the 1930¢s they started shipping the wine to Athens and Piraeus. Gavalas winery, in Megalochori, Santorini, is a family tradition. The family has been engaged in the vinification of the varieties grown in Santorini since the end of the 19th century. We hope that you will also become a devotee of the wines produced in our winery.
