Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in Santorini
How this list is chosen: Restaurants with a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or a deep wine list, listed alphabetically.
Alati Restaurant
Deep wine list
Alati Restaurant belongs to Santorini’s cave-dining tradition rather than its cliff-edge sunset circuit. Set inside a 400-year-old winery cave in Megalohori, it frames island cooking through volcanic agriculture, wine-cave architecture, and the slower village rhythm that separates the interior from the caldera-facing restaurant strip.
Charisma Restaurant
Deep wine list
Charisma Restaurant belongs to Santorini’s caldera-facing dining culture, where the view can dominate unless the kitchen keeps the island in frame. Its Oia setting suits travellers who want a poolside meal shaped by Cycladic produce, volcanic-soil vegetables, seafood traditions, and the slower rhythm of sunset dining rather than a formal tasting-menu performance.
Elements Restaurant at Canaves Oia Hotel
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Set within Canaves Oia Luxury Resorts, Elements Restaurant positions itself at the intersection of Aegean produce and international technique under executive chef Tasos Stefatos. The à la carte menu runs alongside additional tasting formats, with caldera views framing nearly every seat. For dining in Oia that moves beyond direct Greek taverna cooking, Elements belongs in the conversation.
Mylos Restaurant
Deep wine list
Mylos Restaurant sits in Fira, the caldera-edge capital of Santorini, where the volcanic island's tradition of Greek dining meets one of the Mediterranean's most theatrical settings. Located in the heart of Thira Municipality, it draws visitors seeking a table that connects the island's culinary identity to its landscape. Check current availability directly, as Santorini's high season compresses bookings across the island's dining tier.
Oia Oenosart
Deep wine list
One of Santorini's first dedicated wine bars, Oia Oenosart opened in 2015 with a clear proposition: pair the island's distinctive volcanic-soil wines with local food, served at the pace the wines deserve. Positioned in Oia's Argonauton area, it sits at the intersection of wine education and the unhurried ritual that defines drinking seriously on this island.
Selene
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
One of Santorini's most enduring fine dining addresses, Selene has operated for 36 years and now occupies the Katikies Garden Hotel in Fira, housed in a former monastery. Chef Ettore Botrini leads a contemporary Greek kitchen backed by a 3,000-bottle cellar under Wine Director Yiannis Karakasis. Ranked #494 in the 2025 Opinionated About Dining Europe list, it sits at the sharper end of the island's dining tier.
