Start your private Santorini tour with a pick-up from your hotel or from the old port (Skala), where your local guide will be waiting for you at the cruise arrivals pier.
The first stop on our wine culture exploration will be an old, private canava, the island’s underground caves used as a space for grape storage and winemaking. Get ready to hear fascinating stories of locals who have mastered the island’s harsh weather conditions to create exceptional wines using ancient techniques and methods that are still in use today.
Next, it’s time to learn all about the promising future but also the fascinating past of Santorini wine by visiting a famous award-winning local instrumentalist in his cellar who combines ancient Greek music with the mythical varieties of ancient Greek wines, while reciting Greek mythology.
Since this is a wine tour after all, our last stop will have you sampling four more local wines paired with a platter of local, seasonal nibbles such as local meats and cheeses on the winery’s terrace with gorgeous sunset views.
Your wine tour of Santorini will sadly finish here, but we know you will definitely want to come back for more! Your guide will be more than happy to make recommendations for what else you can do if your plans allow you more time on the island.
