Private Santorini Wine Tour: 3 Wineries & Stunning Caldera Sunset
Description
This is not a group wine tour with a fixed script and a van full of strangers. Every aspect of this experience is built around one principle: it's yours. Your group is the only group. That means your guide's full attention, a pace that fits you, and an itinerary that can shift based on what you love. The wineries are chosen for quality and character, not tourist volume. You won't be shuffled through the island's busiest tasting rooms. Instead, you'll visit boutique estates where the welcome is personal, the production is small, and the wines actually tell you something about the volcanic soil they came from. They'll walk you through the vineyard, explain the basket-vine technique that makes Santorini's viticulture unlike anywhere else in the world, and help you understand what's in your glass at every stop. And then there's the finale. A first-row table at Santo Wines, reserved for your group, as the caldera sky turns gold.
Tour Options
Itinerary
This winery is situated on a beach. Originally built as a tomato factory in the early 1900s, the building has been renovated and reopened as a winery.
This established wine estate has been going for generations. Now in its 4th generation, it's still producing authentic wines from the volcanic soils of Santorini.
Face one of the most desired sunsets in the world and get romantic with fine wines at the infamous Santo winery where the sunset is charming, and the ending is even finer. Alongside your wine tasting, you will be shown around the cellars and learn how the wine was produced, bottled, and matured. At your final stop, you will be served local plates of cheese and other Greek nibbles to share your view and close your memorable wine experience.

Amazing tour! Early for pick up, custom wines to fit our wants, and great walk through of the history of each wine. Highly recommend! Gave me a great glance of the grape/wine culture. Transparent costs. Length was spot on. Very private.
Yannis was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He has a passion for Santorini wine culture and you learn all about the history and each tasting. Highly recommend. The private tour was customized and was exactly as requested, thank you!
Wineland Tours is truly the best of the best. From the very beginning of our planning to the forever memories we made on their excursions, it was absolutely incredible. The pricing was great, communication was easy and quick, and the tours were incredible. We have already sent their contact information to 2 friends traveling to Greece soon.
Giannis was a fantastic tour and wine guide. He provided a great review of the island’s history while moving between the two wineries. Each winery was fun, the wine and food were great. Giannis also provided many insights to the vine growing and wine making process on Santorini. He was also fun and entertaining. We all loved our tour.
Really great tour with Yiannis, he really knows his wine. Talked us through everything from how wine making works on Santorini to what food pairings work with which wine. Well recommended.
We had the best day, our favourite day in Santorini! Yiannis was punctual in picking us up and the rest of the trip was just as seamless. From the beginning communication was easy, we got to choose which wineries we wanted to go to having been given a short story on them all. Yiannis is a sommelier who really knows his wines, we learnt a lot about winemaking as well as ideal food pairings. The day was relaxed with the right amount of time at each winery. We finished with a sunset at Santos, highly recommend. An absolute must do if you are visiting Santorini.
Yannis was unbelievably knowledgeable!!! He showed us so many things about how wine was made, what makes it special and why the different wines taste different! Absolutely amazing tour and must for all wine lovers!!!! He was so generous and even ordered us a Greek salad because he heard us talking about it just sums up the whole trip!!!’
Yannis is outstanding! He is very nice and accommodating. We visited 3 wineries and went to see the vines. I highly recommend Yannis and this company.
Yiannis picked us up right on time in Oia. The van was roomy and very comfortable. Took us to a vineyard and showed us the unique vines of the area. We then visited a few wineries. We finished at Santo wines and had a wonderful view of the sunset. I would definitely recommend this tour and would go with him again!
