We’ll cross the island, visiting two carefully selected wineries, each offering a unique perspective on the craft of winemaking.

The second is more a hidden gem, but making waves for its modern approach to viticulture and focus on rare local varietals.

You’ll also discover how to taste the subtle flavor notes of each wine, with personalized guidance from your expert sommelier. Pair each glass with Greek cheeses, breads, and other small bites, enhancing the tasting experience.
Along the way, explore picturesque Pyrgos, one of the lesser-known villages on Santorini, avoiding the tourist crowds and getting a taste of local culture.
This intimate, guided tour blends wine, culture, and scenery, offering a deeper understanding of Santorini’s terroir while allowing you to enjoy the island in a fresh and unforgettable way.
