Saint Anna Winery

Saint Anna Winery, founded in 2016 by Emmanuel Petrakis, combines tradition and innovation to create a unique wine experience. Emmanuel, a graduate of the American Agricultural School in Thessaloniki with a background in agriculture, drew inspiration for the winery’s name from the small, historic church of Agia Anna located on the estate—a site of archaeological significance open for visitors.

Nestled in the lush village of Kato Potamia on the island of Naxos, the winery sits at an altitude of 95 meters, just 7.5 kilometers from Naxos Town. Its picturesque setting offers visitors a perfect opportunity to savor exceptional wines in a serene and green landscape.

The winery produces a wide variety of wines, including white, rosé, red, sweet, and dry selections, crafted from indigenous grape varieties such as Fokiano, Mandilaria, Monemvasia, Savatiano, and other Cycladic grapes. Each bottle reflects the rich viticultural heritage of the region, combined with modern winemaking techniques.

Growing up in a family deeply rooted in farming and winemaking traditions, Emmanuel gained hands-on experience from an early age, helping cultivate grapes and produce wine. His passion and dedication led him to transform his family’s craft into a professional yet small-scale production enterprise.

Now, at just 25 years old, Emmanuel brings both youthful energy and deep expertise to Saint Anna Winery. By combining traditional cultivation practices with advanced production methods, he has elevated the winery to new heights, ensuring that each bottle captures the essence of Naxos and the legacy of his family’s winemaking tradition.
