Our wine tour with Santomax was easily the highlight of our trip to Santorini! If you want to understand the island beyond the blue domes, this is the way to do it. Our guide, Klara, was fantastic—so knowledgeable and passionate about the unique volcanic soil and the 'kouloura' (basket-woven) vines. We visited three distinct wineries: Argyros, Rose estate, and finished at Vasaltis just as the sun was setting. Klara was an amazing person and a professional on her job, she made our journey an unforgettable experience, we will be back.
Our Santorini wine tour was absolutely delightful. The views, the wineries, and the quality of the wines were all outstanding. Our guide made the day effortless and enjoyable, sharing great stories and insights along the way. A perfect experience for couples, we loved every minute of it. 🍇
We had an amazing wine tour in Santorini with our guide. Everything was perfectly organized, the wineries were beautiful, and the wines were exceptional. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel very personal. Sharing this with my husband made it even more special, truly a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended! 🍷
Klara was fantastic! We chose this wine tour in the Santorini off-season, on a day where only one winery was open. Klara pivoted well and took us on a tour of nearly the whole island, curated to us/ what we wanted to see. She was very knowledgeable about areas of the island and its history. We ended our tour at the Koustoyannopoulos Winery and wine museum. Klara was very personable, great company - would highly recommend a tour with her if you get the opportunity!
We had so much fun on our wine tour! Clara was our guide and so sweet and informative! We loved the art as well as the wine at the first winery, Art Space. Everyone was welcoming and we couldn't have been happier!
Christos took amazing care of us. It was an awesome way to get a tour of the island. We learned a ton about the history and culture of Santorini with a special emphasis on wine making. It was one of our birthdays plus honeymoon and he made us feel very special and welcome. He’s one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend to other people coming to Santorini.
Our wine tour was absolutely fantastic! We tasted very good wines in astonishing estates (with view!) and areas. Special thanks to Christos, our diver, who was a true passionate with very interesting knowledge and anecdotes. He was so kind to us and took a lot of pictures for memories. We highly recommend!
We visited Santorini for couple of days in October and our hotel recommended us santomax for an unforgettable wine tour. Very informative, our tour guide was professional and because of Covid 19 the van and the wineries have all the equipment to keep us safe! Thank you for that experience. Stay safe.
The wineries are absolutely beautiful. The scenery during the tasting is also nice. Guide is very knowledgeable and staff at the wineries as well. January may not be the best time for this tour as one of the wineries was closed, however, the tour company was very kind to communicate other options I had to make my experience nice.
My husband and I were looking for a Wine tour in Santorini and some friends we knew there recommended to us SantoMax. That was the best decision we made. We booked the Wine Tour and we had an outstanding guide who was interesting and informative. The Wineries were beautiful and the wines were exceptional. Thank you guys!
