We had the absolute best time with Panos! He is a true expert, making Santorini’s volcanic soil and ancient wine history incredibly engaging. The venues were absolutely gorgeous, and the local wines were delicious. Highly recommend!
We were keen to try the famous wines of Santorini but were traveling without a car, this tour was the perfect way to see the region and taste the wines. Elena was our guide and she was friendly and knowledgeable. We loved the small group tour! Each winery gave a platter of nibbles alongside our wine tasting and we were quite full by the end. Would recommend!!
Fantastic tour! Marina was absolutely wonderful! The last winery and the sunset views were the best!!
Great Wine tour. Davide is a legend with decades of experience in wines, having worked at Michelin star restaurants. Super knowledgeable, a good laugh and a great guide. Really brings the island’s wines to life, even for someone like me who has no real experience of wine tasting.
You get to travel around the wineries of Santorini, learn about their wine, and share in the experience with others. The conversations were fun, and our tour guide Panos gave a thoughtful and insightful tour. The accompanying charcuterie with the wine was delicious and complements the wine well. Not to mention a beautiful sunset view at the end to top it off. Plus, the pick up and drop off option was fantastic.
Absolutely wonderful afternoon spent sampling many different wines, enjoying cheeses and meats, chatting to our group and all with the expert commentary from Panos our guide. Pick up was well communicated and arrived bang on time. Lovely air conditioned mini van and a small group of us on the tour. We visited three different wineries and sampled four wines at each, all with a meze/tapas plate alongside. The final winery was the highlight though, wow the view and ambience at Santo Wines was just spectacular. We had an amazing view of the sunset, it was such a beautiful setting. Would 100% recommend booking this tour!
Mary was truly incredible!! Definitely deserves a raise!!!! She was so funny and knowledgeable. 100% recommended!!! The wine was amazing, the sunset was unmatched and the company was enjoyable! Truly an unforgettable experience
MARY was wonderful! Knowledgeable, fun and super personable! We’d highly recommend this tour for anyone who comes to Greece and enjoys wine.
Our guide Mary was very knowledgeable and pleasant . There were 8 adults in our tour and enjoyed the tour and the wines from the 3 winery’s we visited.
Panos was a great guide. He knew everything about the wine and gave us the lay of the land (and water) in Santorini along the way. Excellent way to sample Santorini’s wine without having to drive or plan anything.
