In each winery you will learn of the local viticulture, the wine making process, and taste the different wine varieties.
The island of Santorini is most famously known for its indigenous white grape varieties Assyrtiko, Athiri and Aidani, though some wines made from international varieties as well as indigenous red grapes can be found. Many of the roots found on the vines on Santorini are centuries old. The local grape growers use a unique bush-training system, known as koulara, to grow the grapes. As the vines grow, they are woven into baskets with the grapes facing toward the inside of the ring.
After the wineries, proceed to a local village, where you will join a 3-course delicious Santorini-styled menu cooked in the traditional way using local products, accompanied by the local wine. The dazzling light and the Aegean breeze, combined with the island’s fertile volcanic soil, nurture the local agricultural products, endowing them with top quality and a unique taste.
This tour is ideal for foodies, adventure types, wine lovers and anyone who wants to try a complete gastronomic experience in Santorini.
