Semi-private Wine Tour in Santorini

Kick things off at a spectacular viewpoint

Your day begins with a little history lesson, not in a cellar, but at a beautiful outlook. Imagine gazing at the breathtaking caldera while your guide explains how a volcanic eruption eventually became a blessing for the island’s flourishing viticulture.

Let yourself travel back in time as you listen to how the mineral-rich soil, harsh winds and intense sun all work together to create growing conditions found nowhere else on Earth.

Stop at a local vineyard

Up next, you’ll visit a working vineyard where the vines don’t grow on trellises as you’d expect. They’re shaped into low basket-like coils called “kouloura.” 

Your guide walks you through the rows, showcasing how the pruning technique works. This is where you’ll see firsthand why Santorini viticulture is so unique and labor-intensive.

Visit three exceptional wineries

Now comes the most fun part: the tasting! You’ll tour three local wineries, each offering four wines paired with local bites.

From the crisp Assyrtiko that’s become Santorini’s calling card to the sweet Vinsanto, you’ll taste the full spectrum of what this volcanic terroir produces. What a way to end a memorable day of sipping and exploring!
