Wine Tasting Tour Across Santorini’s Top Wineries
About the Tour
This immersive Santorini wine tasting tour invites you to explore the island’s world-famous winemaking traditions, shaped by over 3,500 years of history and the power of the volcano. You’ll stroll through ancient vineyards, learn about indigenous grape varieties, and meet passionate winemakers who keep Santorini’s viticulture alive.
Our curated route along the traditional Santorini Wine Roads takes you to three handpicked wineries, each offering distinctive wines and striking natural scenery. Whether you are a wine expert or a curious beginner, this tour offers an unforgettable cultural and sensory experience.
Tour Highlights
Three Premium Winery Visits
Enjoy guided tastings at three carefully selected wineries, each showcasing their finest labels. Sample crisp volcanic whites, bold blends, refreshing rosés, and Santorini’s iconic Vinsanto dessert wine. Your wine host will explain winemaking methods, grape characteristics, and pairing suggestions.
Explore Santorini’s Volcanic Vineyards
Walk through vineyards shaped by ash and lava, where vines grow in the island’s unique basket-shaped structure known as the kouloura. Learn how Santorini’s dry climate, sea winds, and mineral-rich soil create wines with unmatched character and complexity.
Local Food Pairings
Complement your tastings with a selection of local cheeses, olives, fresh bread, cherry tomatoes, capers, and olive oil — flavors that perfectly match Santorini’s wines and enhance your tasting experience.
Wineries You May Visit
- A family-run winery known for traditional production methods
- A modern estate with panoramic vineyard views and premium Assyrtiko labels
- A historic winery offering barrel-aged specialties and unique volcanic blends
