Terroir Santorini-Grand Sunset Experience

Set on the northern edge of Santorini near Oia, Domaine Sigalas is celebrated for its elegant expressions of Assyrtiko and its deep respect for the island’s ancient vineyard traditions. The estate sits among low-trained, basket-shaped vines (kouloura), shaped by centuries of adaptation to volcanic soil and strong Aegean winds. Guests will walk through the vineyard to see these unique vine formations up close and learn how Santorini’s volcanic terroir influences acidity, minerality, and structure in the wines. Inside the winery, a sommelier will guide a curated tasting of premium labels, highlighting crisp Assyrtiko, aromatic whites, and refined dessert wines. Expect a detailed breakdown of winemaking techniques and how Domaine Sigalas balances tradition with precision.

Estate Argyros is one of Santorini’s most historic and expansive vineyards, with a legacy dating back to 1903. Known for producing some of the island’s most age-worthy wines, the estate combines old vines—some over a century old—with modern winemaking expertise. Guests will explore the estate’s vineyards and learn about the significance of vine age and low-yield cultivation. The sommelier-led tasting focuses on structured Assyrtiko wines, rare old-vine expressions, and the iconic Vinsanto dessert wine. Guests will gain insight into aging potential, oak influence, and the evolution of Santorini wines over time, with opportunities to ask in-depth questions.

Perched high on the caldera cliffs, Santo Wines offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views on the island. As a leading cooperative, it represents dozens of local growers, showcasing the diversity and scale of Santorini’s wine production. This final stop is where the experience transitions into a relaxed, luxurious sunset dinner. Guests will enjoy priority seating overlooking the caldera as the sun sets into the Aegean. A sommelier helps select a premium or limited-production bottle to pair with a full à la carte meal. Alongside dinner, guests can reflect on the day’s tastings while enjoying additional wines in a more leisurely, scenic setting.
