Our Story

The story of Liora begins with a profound respect for the land. Our founder, Elara Vance, envisioned a winery that did more than just produce wine; it would capture the very essence of Santorini. On the sun-drenched volcanic slopes, she cultivated the indigenous Assyrtiko grape, believing its resilience and vibrant acidity were the perfect expression of the Aegean spirit.

Passed down through three generations, the art of winemaking at Liora has been refined, never replaced. Each successor has added their own chapter to our story, introducing sustainable farming practices and innovative techniques that allow the quality of our grapes to shine, all while honoring the time-tested methods that define our heritage.
