VASSALTIS WINERY, WINE EVENT IN CRETE

With construction completed in April 2016, Vassaltis is the latest addition to Santorini’s booming wine scene. In the wake of the Greek financial crisis in 2010, Yannis Valambous returned to Santorini, his childhood holiday destination to revive the family vineyards he inherited from his father and create a modern boutique winery. Joined by oenologists Elias Roussakis and Yannis Papaeconomou, the vision is mutual: to prove that Santorini can produce world-class wines with a new generation of Greek winemakers delivering great results when given the opportunity. Today, Vassaltis is considered a top producer in Greece with its wines receiving worldwide recognition and multiple awards.
