Ask for the traditional canava visit
The winery describes an old canava that receives visitors for wine-taste tours, alongside a separate modern production function. It is a useful enquiry for visitors interested in the island’s traditional cellar setting and winemaking methods. A current per-person price, duration, pour count, booking calendar and included food have not been established. Obtain those details directly rather than treating historical seven-wine or third-party price descriptions as a current package.
Explore the winery’s traditional wine purpose
The company dates its history to 1836 and describes family knowledge passed between generations. Its portfolio draws on island varieties including Assyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani, Mandilaria and Mavrathiro. This is a broader wine-producing business, not just a visitor tasting room. The operator’s oldest-winery description is not an independently audited island-wide comparison. Ask which current wines can be tasted or purchased during the agreed visit.
Distinguish history from a live demonstration or event
The published traditional-winery description discusses harvest and grape-treading practices. That is not evidence that a demonstration will happen on your visit. Older references to a tavern, Santorini evenings, theatre or performances also require a current programme and separate confirmation. The small retained traditional-winemaking photograph is illustrative and is kept at its original resolution; it does not document today’s activity or staff.
Use the Santorini contact and confirm the complete arrangement
The root site posts Monday–Saturday 12:00–17:00, Sunday closed. Its contact page places the Santorini winery in Mesa Gonia/Episkopi Gonia, with +30 2286031349 and info@canavaroussos.gr. The Palaio Faliro address and Athens telephone belong to a separate branch. Confirm that a host will receive you at the Santorini site, along with date, language, group, access, tasting fee, wines and cancellation. No fixed package or actual appointment is implied by this recommendation.
