How your Santorini Brewery Tour: Beyond Caldera’s Trodden Lanes unfolds
Kick things off at Profitis Ilias
After your private pick-up, it’s time to kickstart your adventure at Santorini’s highest spot. Sitting at 567 meters above sea level, Profitis Ilias is the most spectacular vantage point. And once you set foot there, you’ll immediately understand why.
Imagine watching the dramatic caldera cliffs and the endless Aegean stretching to the horizon while your guide explains how volcanic eruptions shaped not just the landscape but the island’s soil, settlements and way of life.
You’ll also learn about the historic monastery that crowns the peak and its role in local culture, the perfect introduction to understanding Santorini’s true essence.
Enjoy a VIP all-access tour of Ftelos Brewery
Up next, you head to FTELOS Brewery for an experience most visitors never get: exclusive behind-the-scenes access to all facilities, including the production area normally off-limits to the public.
Led by a member of the FTELOS team, you’ll follow the complete brewing journey, from ingredient selection to fermentation and bottling. The cherry on top? Along the way, you’ll discover how volcanic terroir and local inspiration influence each beer’s development.
Indulge in a mouthwatering beer tasting
If the above sounds exciting, just wait till you try the brewery’s signature labels. At the restaurant, a beer expert guides you through a curated tasting of 6 FTELOS craft beers, paired with a 4-course degustation menu designed to complement the flavors in your glass.
From hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, you’ll savor a wide range while uncovering what makes each brew special.
Wrap up your Santorini beer tour full of memories
Once the tasting is over, your driver takes you back to your chosen location, whether that’s your hotel, a restaurant or anywhere else on the island.
