Private Santorinian Wine Tour
Description
Santorini is home to some of the world’s most unique wines, shaped by its volcanic soil and ancient traditions. On this tour, we visit three exceptional wineries, each showcasing a different grape-growing method and winemaking style. Stops include Art Space Winery, where tradition meets art, the renowned Argyros Estate, known for world-class Assyrtiko, and the breathtaking Venetsanos Winery, built into the caldera cliffs with unforgettable views. You’ll taste signature white varieties like Assyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani, reds such as Mavrotragano, Mandilaria, and sweet wines like Vinsanto, Nama, and Mezzo, made from sun-dried grapes.

Art Space Winery Musem Art Gallery is a unique Art Center within the pumice rock – carved chambers of an old winery located in Exo Gonia, Santorini and continues from the year 1999 until today to stand as a hospitable retreat for all those Greek and foreign artisans who share the same passion for creativity. In the 1861 old winery, representative works of art from the sphere of painting and sculpture are on display, offering visitors the opportunity to come close to contemporary Greek art and the course of artistic expression in Greece. What is more, Art Space Winery continues regularly the traditional winemaking production includes in its premises a contemporary winery offering renowned products of high quality.
The Estate Argyros Winery, located in Episkopi and established in 2015, is a cutting edge establishment, certainly one of the most impressive on the island, covering more than 3000 m2. Utmost care has been taken to create a most stylish and impressive visitors area, but most of the emphasis was placed in the production facilities, making sure that every stage of the wine making process can be handled with both maximum control and minimum intervention.
Our third stop takes us to the iconic Venetsanos Winery, famous for its dramatic location overlooking the Santorini caldera. Built in 1947 into the cliffs, it was the island’s first industrial winery and offers a fascinating blend of history, architecture, and wine. Here, we’ll enjoy a guided tasting of Santorini’s most renowned varieties, including Assyrtiko and Vinsanto, while learning about the island’s unique volcanic terroir. The experience is enriched by stunning views and carefully selected local bites that elevate the wine flavors. A perfect mix of heritage, scenery, and taste — Venetsanos is a true highlight of our wine journey.

My husband and I did a private wine tour with Panos, and it was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgable - about wine, the history of wine making, wine making in Santorini specifically, and Santorini itself. A private tour with Panos is def the way to go!

Panos! He was the best! My husband, brother-in-law, and I were on a trip of a lifetime. We booked Panos to be our tour guide in Santorini. Panos made our tour in Santorini just what we wanted. He took us to three different wineries, each with their own character. He also took us to the town to walk through. His personality was fun, comfortable, and friendly. Using Panos was a decision we are glad we made. If any of my family or friends go to Santorini, I will tell them to use Panos. If I go back, Panos will definitely be our tour guide again! Thanks, Panos, for making our trip so very special!
We wanted to visit a few wineries we were interested in, so we asked for a custom private tour. I told them about my preferred destination, which I had researched beforehand, and they introduced me to other wineries that I had recommended, and I discovered something new. The guide man was very kind and I could feel Santorini's passion for winemaking and respect for history and tradition. On the way, we were able to communicate about wine, Santorini history, current social culture and many other things, which was a really good memory. I would also love to make a reservation when visiting wineries in Santorini. Thank you so much.
As this was a private tour, we could request which wineries to go beforehand. Also, the driver & guide was so flexible that we could go back to one of the wineries we saw to buy extra wines. As we had activities before and after of this winery tour, we appreciated his all arrangements to go smoothly and finish punctually at the time we requested. Thank you for all.

We enjoyed all our tours in Europe, but none more than this Santorini wine tour. Thanks to our guide Panos, the arrangements were easy and travel on the island was scenic and comfortable. Panos entertained us with stories about the history, growing methods, and unique local wines as we enjoyed the beauty of Santorini. He provided colorful background and told us what to look for at each winery we visited. As a lifelong resident, he knew the people, the wines, and the island and he clearly enjoyed sharing that with us. Most importantly, this tour was a highly personal experience. Thanks to Panos, we were welcomed as friends rather than strangers at each stop. He also picked us up at Athinios Port when we managed transport from our cruise ship and, at our request, stopped for a brief visit to Megalochori, a well-maintained 17th century village. We could have spent less for a wine tour in Santorini, but we decided to go for higher quality and a more intimate experience. We are so glad we did. For only a few dollars more, we enjoyed great wines and personal service from a friendly and knowledgeable host. We highly recommend Panos and Justelene Project to others with an interest in Santorini and its wonderful wines.
