Fantastic private tour hosted by Michael. We requested a specific winery and he made the visit happen. We truly enjoyed the other two wineries on the tour, particularly because the two were such a contrast. While ArtSpace was extremely traditional with a focus upon the history of wine in Santorini, it is also a modern art gallery featuring the work of local artists, one of whom was our host for the tasting. The next winery was very modern and had a welcoming vibe. We enjoyed the tasting there: the wines were not as complex, perhaps, but the experience was very pleasant.

Full description

Uncover Santorini's fascinating past on a five-hour tour. Explore the excavations at Akrotiri, a prehistoric Bronze Age city, by yourself because our guide cannot guide you inside the ruins. During the Minoan volcanic eruption some 3,600 years ago, volcanic ash froze the town in time.

On this tour, which is priced for a group of up to 4 persons, you will admire the elaborate drainage system, the sophisticated multi-storied buildings, magnificent wall paintings, and excavated furniture and vessels.

Discover evidence of winemaking that has been estimated to date back to the 3rd millennium BC, making Santorini one of the oldest wine-making regions in the world.

Visit 3 of the island’s wineries and learn about Santorini’s unique viticulture traditions. Taste a selection of 12 different wine styles from across Santorini and Greece – including Assyrtiko, Nykteri, and the sublimely sweet Vinsanto wine.
