Private Santorini Wine Tour: 3 Wineries & Stunning Caldera Sunset

Overview

Available languages

English

5 hours

Mobile ticket

This is not a group wine tour with a fixed script and a van full of strangers. Every aspect of this experience is built around one principle: it's yours.

Your group is the only group. That means your guide's full attention, a pace that fits you, and an itinerary that can shift based on what you love.

The wineries are chosen for quality and character, not tourist volume. You won't be shuffled through the island's busiest tasting rooms. Instead, you'll visit boutique estates where the welcome is personal, the production is small, and the wines actually tell you something about the volcanic soil they came from.

They'll walk you through the vineyard, explain the basket-vine technique that makes Santorini's viticulture unlike anywhere else in the world, and help you understand what's in your glass at every stop. And then there's the finale. A first-row table at Santo Wines, reserved for your group, as the caldera sky turns gold.

Great wine and island tour on Santorini

Giannis was a fantastic tour and wine guide. He provided a great review of the island’s history while moving between the two wineries. Each winery was fun, the wine and food were great. Giannis also provided many insights to the vine growing and wine making process on Santorini. He was also fun and entertaining. We all loved our tour.

We had the best day, our favourite day in Santorini! Yiannis was punctual in picking us up and the rest of the trip was just as seamless. From the beginning communication was easy, we got to choose which wineries we wanted to go to having been given a short story on them all. Yiannis is a sommelier who really knows his wines, we learnt a lot about winemaking as well as ideal food pairings. The day was relaxed with the right amount of time at each winery. We finished with a sunset at Santos, highly recommend. An absolute must do if you are visiting Santorini.

Yiannis picked us up right on time in Oia. The van was roomy and very comfortable. Took us to a vineyard and showed us the unique vines of the area. We then visited a few wineries. We finished at Santo wines and had a wonderful view of the sunset. I would definitely recommend this tour and would go with him again!

We visited three wineries, with the last one located on the caldera, where we enjoyed the sunset along with the wines. It was a great experience, and our sommelier was very knowledgeable about Santorini’s wines and history. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the island.

Amazing wines and amazing guides! Incredibly personable people who knew everything about Santorini and the wines we were tasting! Would recommend this experience to any friend or family that visited! They do a wonderful job of curating wines and foods to match personal tastes and preferences the more you speak with them. You can not ask for a better tour in Santorini.
