Pickup points

Pickup details

We pick up guests from all Santorini hotels & Airbnb's. If your accommodation is not on the pickup list - don't worry. We will be able to pick you up, please advise manually after completing your booking. If a hotel is inaccessible by car due to restrictions, pickup will be held from a nearby location within a short walking distance. Cruise ship travelers: The meeting point is the "Mcdonald's Fast-Food Restaurant" in Fira town. The tour may finish at a later time than the one stated online which might cause cruise ship travelers to miss parts of the tour/leave the tour earlier.

What To Expect

Both the day and sunset tour include hotel pickup and drop-off. The order in which you visit the three wineries depends on the tour you choose.

Day Tour: Meet your guide and relax on the journey to the island’s wine estates. Admire the countryside as you go, and chat with your guide about winemaking in Santorini and the area’s unique viticulture.

Santorini's volcanic soils produce wine that is rich in minerals with light-flavored notes. The island’s grapes are grown in baskets that are set close to the soil—an act that helps retain moisture from rain.

Tour the cellars of each wine estate, and follow the production process from harvesting the grapes through to maturing the wine. Walk with your guide around one of the estate’s volcanic vineyards, and sip on 12 different varieties of the island wine, including vinsanto and assyrtiko. Nibbles such as olives, bread, and cheese are also included.

Sunset Tour: Enjoy the tour as described above, but arrive at your last wine estate, the renowned Santo Wines, in time to watch the sun set. Make your way to the open terrace for an alfresco wine tasting and a plate of tapas with views of the caldera islands and the Aegean Sea before you return to your hotel.

Great experience
Penny_M, Apr 2024
We had a great time on the Santorini Wine tour. Tasted some really good wines and met some incredible people
Great!!
Erik_H, Apr 2024
Nikos was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and super nice! The wineries we visited were pleasant and everything tasted great. We enjoyed the pick up and drop off part also. Only thing that sucked (but wasn’t the tours fault) was the wind was pretty bad this day, so we didn’t get to the the sunset and the Santo winery :( Other than that, we really enjoyed our time! And the group we had made the experience even better!
Amazing wine tour!
Lauren_S, Apr 2024
Our guide knew everything about Santorini's wines. He took us to the best wineries in Santorini and ensured that we would have a diverse experience. We learned so much and had a great time. I highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was so nice and friendly. Very informative. You visit 3 wineries, all close to each other with beautiful views. All of the wines were tasty and it was nice to have the food pairings. This tour does include round trip transportation but for some reason they claimed they couldn’t pick us up at the top of the hill where our airbnb was located which was inconvenient. They picked a location that was 6 minute drive from our airbnb and there was no parking available. So we had to drive to the first winery and was able to get in the van after that. It was really inconvenient and other people on our tour were staying at hotels on the same main road so I’m not sure why we had to meet somewhere else.
Great Experience!
Connor_T, Apr 2024
Ellena, our our guide, was amazing! Lots of fun wines to try and beautiful views. Would recommend to anyone visiting Greece.
Nice experience
Alejandro_L, Apr 2024
Good experience, the guide not only explained us about the wines but also more about this beautiful city and shared some recommendations to visit. There were several tastings and enough and varied snacks to go with each wine. Finally, when you book the system tells you the closest point to pick you up from your hotel which makes things easier.
A memorable day!
Pam_K, Nov 2023
Our wine tasting tour was one of our favorite memories from our trip! We loved learning how Santorini has managed to make amazing wines in an area with very little rainfall for the grapes. The wineries we visited were beautiful with one located right on the beach and another up on a hill with amazing sunset views. Our guide, Nikos, though is the reason our tour was so memorable! He is an actual sommelier and shared his wealth of wine knowledge throughout the tour. By the end of the day, Nikos was no longer just our tour guide, he became a dear friend. We highly recommend the tour and be sure to include the sunset and tapas option!
A Fun Experience
Doug_G, Nov 2023
The trip was a great experience seeing multiple wineries. There was thought picking different wineries with different pasta and stories as well as different wine styles. We paid for the food option which was worth it to have extra pairings with the wine. Tour guide was phenomenal as well.
Incredible guide, nice...
Samuel_C, Nov 2023
Incredible guide, nice other couples, great conversation and excellent wine choices! It couldn’t have been better!
Fun afternoon of wine tasting

A great way to see the island, enjoy some wine, and learn a little bit about Santorini. Guide, Penny, was great and very knowledgeable.
Relaxing day- Wine tour
Carl_C, Oct 2023
Great overview of wines in Santorini. Each Winery had a different feel. Beautiful settings. Especially the Santos Winery. Breath taking view!
Fantastic wine tour
Rico_P, Oct 2023
An amazing experience, delicious wine, and the best tour guide in Katarina. Cannot recommend this tour enough.
Excellent Tour!
Melodie_M, Oct 2023
The tour was absolutely amazing. We learned lots about the region and the wine that Greece produces. Highly recommend!
Amazing time
Debra_B, Oct 2023
We had a wonderful experience with Penny. She was very knowledgeable in the wines of Santorini. We went to three wineries and learned about how grapes are grown in Santorini which is quite different from other areas of the world due to the dry, windy and humid conditions in this area. The experience at Santos Winery was amazing, partly because of the view. Most of the wines were quite good and the tasting included white, red and rose along with a variety of cheeses and other tapas to complement the wines. If you have the opportunity to visit Santorini and enjoy wines this is a must do experience.

Anabel_P, Oct 2023
We had a great experience with this wine tour. Plenty of stops to visit and varieties to try. Marina was the best guide and made everything very enjoyable for the group, George the driver was also a very fun part of the day! Definitely recommend!
Wine, wine and more wine!
Tracy_R, Oct 2023
A wonderful and fun experience with our guide and wine expert, Nikos. The wines were good and the wineries were great. They offered gluten free options for one in our group, plus a lot of Greek appetizers. We had a fun group in our tour and had a very enjoyable time. It was interesting to see the difference in the way the grapes are grown in Santorini as opposed to other locations around the world.

We had a great time! We really enjoyed the first stop at a small family owned winery. We felt the last stop took too long. Would of preferred another location more like the first stop. Tour guide was great and very informative!
Angelo was knowledgeable, entertaining, friendly and a good sense of humor.
Lisa_G, Oct 2023
Sunset photos and Angelo’s knowledge about wine. If you love wine this way is a must while visiting Santorini.
