Lefty was amazing!! He was so informative and we learned a lot but also laughed a lot! He was so personable and knowledgeable about the wines. He had a great experience and highly recommend Lefty as your guide! We bonded so well as a whole group of strangers and sharing our life experiences over a taste of Santorini!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Indeed we had a great time and was a pleasure to have met you all. Makes me more than happy to know that you enjoyed every moment. Wine always bring people together, they start as strangers but end up as friends!
We had an amazing morning touring the wine country in Santorini. What made it perfect was our tour guide, Lefteris. He was extremely knowledge and very kind and welcoming. It was very easy to listen to him and have an enjoyable conversation with him throughout the day. The three vineyards we visited were delicious. We loved the elegant atmosphere and had some tasty wine pairings at one of them. It was a great way to see a different side of Santorini - the less touristy side.
lefteris was our host and he was a knowledgeable passionate wine enthusiast that made this day both enlightening and fun. the wineries chosen were all very good. the food at each was also really nice. it’s also a good way to see parts of the island away from the caldera.
Astra suites organized for us a private wine tour with the company Blue Shades of Greece. Very friendly guide and comfortable van for us alone. We visited three wineries, tasted wine including small appetizer. The explanations of the wine producers was a bit poor and short, don't expect too much here. On the other hand, our guide's explanations of wine and the island were very detailed, interesting and amusing. On the way we made a stop in an unspectacular bar and tasted beer, this did not quite fit the whole trip. The wineries can also be tasted alone (and much cheaper than on a tour), but the problem is that someone has to drive and therefore can not taste along. The wine tour is suitable for guests who already know the island well and want an extra activity. Not a spectacular tour, but still fun and with lovely wine estates. For those who know the island even less, I would rather recommend a private sunset cruise. The tours are generally very well booked (we were in the high season) and had trouble getting a free place. Therefore, book early.
Dear sir/madam, We thank your for all of your very kind compliments, yet at the same time we do realise there were some issues during your wine tour we need to address, and we thank you for the opportunity. First of all, by looking the photos you have provided with your review, it seems you had the tour a year ago 2021. In the year 2021 we still had restrictions in msome wineries because of the pandemic. You mention that the individual winery presentation during your tastings at one winery had room for improvement. As you seemed to enjoy our discussions more! Unfortunately that only one winery do not permit this, even though your tour guide was a trained sommelier, it is only allowed in the hands of the winery staff themselves. So we’re pretty sure this was a particular issue at one specific location of the three wineries we visited where your guide was not permitted to accompany you into the tasting at this spesific winery as he did for the other two wineries. Again, unfortunately this is beyond our control. However please do remember we are always more than happy to provide extra information on the wines we taste and to answer any questions about each winery to the best of our ability during our portion of the tour. And we thank you for your understanding of the limits of our participation in the actual tastings. Regarding the beer tasting stop, which takes place at Santorini’s very first local brewery to operate on the island, not just a random bar as you may have thought, we include this (time permitting) as a little bonus stop to our regular winery tour. And while this is a unique and exclusive option that only our wine tour company provides, it is perfectly fine for our guests to opt out of this stop, so please keep in mind it’s totally optional on any tour. Again, we were delighted to have you with us, we thank you for your review, and should you join us again, we are happy to tailor a tour specifically to your party’s needs and desires. Until then, we wish you all the best! Sincerely yours,
Our tour with Lefty was a highlight of our time in Santorini. Pickup was down to the minute. The van was pristine. One other couple was on the tour with us so it was nice and private. We visited 3 wineries, each very different. Lefty was extremely knowledgeable. I’ve never learned this much on a wine tour before! It really made me appreciate the wine even more. The food pairings were nice, especially at Vassaltis. For a really great experience, and a well-run, stress free tour, book with Blue Shades!
Thank you so much for you kind words and this gives us strength to keep on doing what we love the most.It was our pleasure to have you and met you.
We had a wonderful time on our wine tour with Lefty. He was knowledgeable, friendly and regaled the group with lots of funny and interesting stories. The wines were fantastic and the views were great as well. The pick up and drop off was done without a hitch.
An amazing way to spend an afternoon in Santorini. Lefti is a fantastic guide, and there’s never a dull minute on the drive between vineyards. The selection of wines is excellent, Lefti gives you everything you need to enjoy it to the max, without being imposing. The sunset at the final stop was something really special. A cheeky extra stop at the Donkey brewery is a nice bonus! Truly a 5 star experience.
We had a great time tasting and learning so much about Santorini from Lefti. The tour was supposed to be semi-private but it was just us. He was a great guide with so many tips about what do do during our stay.
Quality experience from start to finish. Prompt pickup from our hotel in air conditioned minivan. Lefti (apologies if spelling is incorrect!) our driver, tour guide and sommelier for the day was hospitable, informative and knowledgeable about the, island, its history and its wines. We packed three vineyards into the tour over four and a half hours, Estate Argyros, Hatzidakis and Domaine Sigalas. All served their unique wines in different surroundings, modern tasting rooms, a cave and an outdoor terrace amongst the vines. Thanks to Blue Shades of Greece and especially to Lefti for a wonderful experience which has left us with fond memories of our visit to Santorini. The food pairings were tasty and complimented the wines wonderfully.
