Santorini’s vines are ungrafted, growing on their own roots as all vines did before phylloxera swept Europe in the 1800s, and many are over 70 years old. What ends up in your glass is genuinely rare, and your guide explains why as you taste. The sunset finale at Santo Wines is the highlight almost every reviewer mentions.

What Your Day Looks Like
Hotel pickup. You’re collected door-to-door from your Santorini hotel or Airbnb in a comfortable Mercedes vehicle, and your expert guide sets the scene for the day.
Three distinct wineries. The tour visits Estate Argyros, Santo Wines, and Domaine Sigalas, each with a different setting and character, from inland family vineyards to cliff-top estates. Across the three, you taste 12 wines: mostly the crisp white Assyrtiko that Santorini is famous for, plus reds and a dessert wine.
Local tapas pairings. At each stop, local cheese, cold cuts, and snacks are paired with the wines. Reviewers note the food adds up to roughly a light meal, enough that many only need a small dinner afterward.
The sunset at Santo Wines. On the sunset option, the final stop is a reserved table at Santo Wines, perched on the caldera rim, timed for the sunset. Watching the sun sink into the Aegean with a glass of Santorini wine in hand is, for most guests, the moment of the trip.
Before You Book
- Choose the sunset option. The tour comes in day and sunset versions. For the caldera sunset finale, book the sunset option specifically. It’s the highlight and worth timing your day around.
- Adults only. Minimum age is 18, as the tour centers on wine tasting. No children.
- Come a little hungry, but eat later. The tapas are generous but not a full dinner. Plan a light meal afterward.
- It’s tastings, not full pours. You’ll try 12 wines in tasting measures, ideal for sampling the range without overdoing it. Mineral water is provided.
- Cruise passengers, read carefully. This tour is designed for hotel guests. Cruise passengers are welcome but pickup is at the McDonald’s in Fira Town, not the port, which means a tender plus a cable car up. Build in time, and note that tickets aren’t refundable within 24 hours even if cruise delays cause you to miss it.
- Book ahead. Averaged 54 days in advance. This is one of the most popular tours on the island.
- Cancellation: free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
What Travelers Say
“A fantastic wine tour. The guide was knowledgeable and energetic, and it was fascinating to learn about the unique terroir of Santorini grapes. We saw 3 great wineries, but the highlight was the evening stop at Santo and the amazing sunset views of the caldera. The food pairings were excellent.” (Paul S., June 2026)
“Plenty of wines to taste, lots of fun, beautiful settings for all 3 tasting locations, particularly the hilltop Santo Wines with its breathtaking sunset view. Lovely cold plate paired with aromatic wines. Best experience, totally worth it.” (Lifeng Q., July 2026)
“There are no hidden costs and we didn’t feel under pressure to buy or tip at all. The tapas over the 3 wineries probably worked out to be a full meal. Honestly a fantastic experience from pickup to drop-off. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.” (Richard P., July 2026)
