Taste good life at Santorini. Coming to Santorini and not experiencing a wine tour, offering such a colourful spectrum of unique and truly local grape varieties, would be a true loss.

Hear about the ancient vineyards of Santorini, the history of the island through the centuries and how the rich volcanic soils influence and add instinctive notes to local winemaking, renderings its produce unique throughout the world. Are you prepared to see how wine is made from the harvest to the final process? We will have the opportunity to visit 2 traditional wineries and explore 10 different wines such as the distinctive Assyrtiko, the tasteful Nykteri and the sweet Vinsanto which are served alongside local delicacies. Embark on a journey to the world of Santorini wines and learn all about the grape varieties and their end result as wines. How do Santorini’s microclimates and volcanic soils affect the flavours and notes of its’ wines? Get introduced to a bounty of secret corners of the island only a local would be able to show and tell. Both wine experts and experienced tour guides will be your escorts on this unique Santorini private tour. We then continue to discover the traditional village of Pyrgos, the highest village in Santorini with a typical Fortress Settlement which was declared a protected UNESCO settlement in 1995.
