As a young couple with a shared love for wine, we embarked on a 4-hour Santorini Wine Roads Tour to explore the island's rich wine culture and picturesque landscapes. The tour exceeded our expectations, taking us to three family-owned wineries, each boasting unique architecture and delightful red and white wines.
Our knowledgeable guide, who also happened to be an expert sommelier, picked us up in a luxurious, air-conditioned minivan. Throughout the tour, we learned about Santorini's indigenous grapes, unique vine-growing methods, and the island's long history of winemaking.
At each winery, we were treated to tastings of a variety of wines, including some straight from the barrel, as well as local snacks that perfectly complemented our tastings. In total, we sampled 12 to 15 different wines, gaining a deeper appreciation for Santorini's diverse and flavorful offerings.
In addition to the winery visits and tastings, the tour included round-trip transport from centrally located hotels and Santorini port, a wine booklet, and a commemorative certificate to remember our experience. Gratuities were also included, allowing us to focus on enjoying the tour without worrying about additional costs.
The Santorini Wine Roads Tour was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, providing us with a deeper understanding of the island's unique wine culture while also allowing us to enjoy its breathtaking scenery. We were part of a small group of up to 10 participants, which made the experience more intimate and enjoyable.
For wine enthusiasts and couples looking for a memorable and educational experience in Santorini, we highly recommend the Santorini Wine Roads Tour with Wine Tastings Morning & Sunset.
