Inspired by age-long traditions passed on from one generation to the next, Afianes Wines was founded by Nikos Afianes and his wife Maria almost 20 years ago with one dream in mind, to create a space where wine and life are celebrated.
By preserving ancient techniques of winemaking and combining them with modern day practices Afianes Wines boasts an impressive and internationally renowned selection of wine labels.
Today, joined by their two children, Konstantinos and Eftychia, this family-owned winery is a local treasure elevating Ikarian wine and welcoming guests from all over the world that want to share moments, experiences, good company, and great wine.
The policy of our winery makes it a point to produce as little pollution as possible, therefore, we designed our premises according to the principles of bioclimatic architecture, aligning with the age-old Ikarian way of building, which sums up in the formula: “in the earth or close to the earth”.
Our winery is built beneath the ground and we don’t use air-conditioning for its rooms, while the cooling system in our tanks works for as short time as strictly necessary.
