Santorini produces a large variety of volcanic wines well known all over the world. Once you visit the island you will have the opportunity to taste many different types of wine among the white and the seductive sweet red.

Duration: 6 hours
If you wish to avoid the crowds, explore the island and taste the unique and famous Santorinian wines, then this is the ideal tour for you.
Beginning our day with your pick up, we will proceed to the picturesque Oia. We will enjoy a short walk among the narrow streets and the blue-white traditional houses, having a look at the local stores whilst admiring the panoramic view of the Caldera. We will reach the Venetian castle, which is the perfect spot for unlimited photo-shooting.
After some relaxation time for refreshments or shopping we will head south, to Santorini’s highest point, the Monastery of Prophet Elias that is located close to Pyrgos, Kallisti village. From 565m (1900 feet) we will be enjoying a 360 view of the island.
Our next stop will be Santorini’s countryside, an impressive landscape filled with small traditional villages and dark hills. Afterwards, we will visit two different wineries to taste different types of the famous Assyrtiko white wine while learning about Santorini’s wine history, such as how it is possible to produce vines in such a dry and volcanic soil.
Of course, nobody can just taste wine without some local delicious delicacies. That’s why we will be having lunch at one of the wineries.
