Begin your private Santorini wine-tasting tour with a pickup from your hotel or the closest accessible place, and enjoy a day of tasting discovery with an expert licensed wine guide.
As you drive through dry fields and vineyards, learn more from the driver/sommelier about Santorini’s winemaking process and its peculiar viticulture.
Due to its volcanic aspa soil, Santorini can produce wine that is rich in minerals and has subtle flavor characteristics. On the island, grapes are grown in baskets that are close to the ground, which helps to retain precipitation. Follow the winemaking process from grape harvest to wine maturation by visiting the cellars of the wine estates.
Your guide will take you on a tour of one of the estate’s volcanic vineyards where you can taste up to 12 different island wine varieties from the region, including assyrtiko and vinsanto. On this wine tour, stop by three wineries in Santorini. For an outdoor wine tasting and a dish of tapas with views of the Santorini caldera, proceed to the open terrace at the final wine estate. At the last winery, savor a delicious 3-course meal while you enjoy your wine.
After a fascinating half-day experience, your private Santorini winery tour will end with a return at the same point you were picked up.
