The story of our wine cannot be told separately from the story of our land as the two are intertwined.

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.
