What to expect
Discover Santorini's most distinct local wineries and traditional cellars through a unique 4:00-hour wine-tasting journey tour and an authentic conventional settlement with historical houses, blue-domed churches, and old mansions during your winery tour. Taste 10-12 glasses of wine from our three wineries, which are on our list and available on the day.
The beautiful and modern Argyros winery estate is located on the outskirts of Episkopi-Gonia, about 5.5 km southeast of Fira. Argyros' spacious tasting room with ocean views is in the heart of their grape estate. Like most wineries in Santorini, the main grape variety produced and used here is the white Assyrtico grape, although Argyros is also used to make a delicious Aydani wine. Their ruby-red Mavrotragano received 93/100 Parker points in Wine Advocate.
Avantis Estate winemaker Mr. Apostolos Mountrikas fell in love with Santorini and the strong personality of Assyrtiko and started his project in Santorini in 2012. He completed his project in 2021, founding Anhydrous Winery. His philosophy is based on experimentation with ancient winemaking techniques that produce modern wines with purity and essential varietal characteristics. Wines that reflect the connection with the arid land of Santorini, the majesty of the land, the volcano, the sun, the sea breeze, the Cycladic air - the vibrant personality of this unique PDO land. These are high-quality wines that capture the pure beauty of Santorini. These are anhydrous wines.
Visit three traditional wineries and cellars in the countryside of Santorini with your local, professional guide. Taste a selection of 12 different wine styles from Santorini and Greece. At the same time, you'll go through an actual vineyard on the volcanic soil and discover the unique viticulture on a four-and-a-half-hour adventure. Enjoy an assortment of local cheese and olives, and discover parts of Santorini's story through the wine-making with your small group.
