3 Hours Private Wine Tasting Tour
Three wineries, four glasses each, and the famous caldera at sunset — a focused private wine route through Santorini's volcanic terroir.
Santorini wine is its own thing. The vines grow in volcanic ash and pumice, pruned into ground-level baskets — kouloura — to shelter the grapes from the wind. The result is Assyrtiko: dry, mineral, high-acid, and unlike anything else in Greece. Vinsanto, the dessert wine, is sun-dried Assyrtiko aged in oak. Mavrotragano is the indigenous red.
Over three hours we visit three wineries on the eastern and southern side of the island, with a private driver-guide. You taste four wines at each stop — twelve pours in total — paired with Greek cheese, cherry tomatoes, olives and local cold cuts. The host walks you through each estate, the soil, and what the wind does to the grape.
Pickup is from Fira (cable car or Atlantis Hotel), the airport, or Athinios port. Tour ends back at your meeting point.
