In a nutshell

Why not explore the beauty of Santorini from a different perspective? Tasting its wines, for instance. Together with a local expert, you will visit three wineries, where you will learn about a winemaking culture that goes back thousands of years and get to know the island through a true sensory experience involving ancient colors, aromas and flavors known by only a few people.

Main stops

Wine-tasting with a sommelier at three wineries: Artemis Karamolegos, Anhydrous and Santo Wines
Fira: A walk through the alleys and return (included) by cable car or on foot.

The programme

It all begins with a mix of colors: Dark sand, red rocks, white pumice stones, gray and pink ash. This is the soil of this volcanic island, from which amazing wines have been made for over 3,000 years.
Vineyards or expanses covered in odd shrubs? These low vines look like nests made of branches and leaves – they've been woven like this for thousands of years, in order to make them more resilient to sun, wind and even natural disasters.
But now it's time to meet the oldest local winemaking family: At the Artemis Karamolegos winery, while sipping a Mavrotragano red wine, you will learn about the strong bond between Santorini and its wines, while the Anhydrous winery still uses the traditional “afouras”, huge oak barrels in which the wine you will taste is aged.
Assyrtiko is the finest vine of Santorini. At Santo Wines, the largest winery on the island, you will discover its mineral aromas, as well as the secret of Vinsanto sweet wine, while a toast on the winery's extraordinary terrace will further enhance your sensory experience.
Finally, take a walk through the alleys of Fira, overlooking the sea. And to get back to the harbor? You choose: 520 steps or a comfortable cable car. The fare is on us. Beautiful views guaranteed!
