Immerse yourself in the world of the opulent Santorini wines with this Private Wine tour, and encounter exquisite vineyards and cellars!
This Private 4-hour Wine Tour is an exquisite journey crafted for enthusiasts of both travel and fine wines, offering the opportunity to explore the charming world of Santorini's renowned vineyards and wineries, where ancient viticulture traditions meet modern oenological expertise. In just 4 hours, you will traverse picturesque landscapes, savoring not only the panoramic views but also the diverse taste profiles of Santorini's noteworthy wines, while you have the choice to personalize your journey by communicating directly with the driver.
This unique wine tour provides the option to select between a pair of delightful alternatives based on your preferences, the 4-hour Day tour, starting at 10:00, or the 4-hour Sunset tour, beginning at 16:00. Both choices assure a pleasurable trek of esteemed wineries, offering the opportunity to savor the delightful flavors of Santorini's wines amidst the daytime atmosphere or the mesmerizing colors of the sunset!
Embark on a captivating journey through Santorini's rich winemaking heritage as you visit three distinguished wineries! The first destination is the Koutsogiannopoulos Winery (Wine Museum), which promises an exceptional experience in its historic cave cellars, seamlessly blending the art of winemaking with the island's cultural legacy. Next, you will venture to Estate Argyros, renowned for its commitment to traditional methods, and its meticulous craftsmanship in producing their incomparable wines. Concluding your wine experience at Venetsanos Winery, perched atop the island's Caldera, you will enjoy not only a fine assortment of regional wines but also sweeping and awe-inspiring sceneries. Needless to say, you are free to choose alternative wineries apart from the ones shown above based on their availability!
Both the day and sunset options offer distinct yet equally enticing experiences for those seeking to discover Santorini's wineries. The day tour bathes you in the island's bright sunlight, allowing you to appreciate the aesthetic charm of the vineyards and the architectural details of each winery. On the other hand, the sunset tour transforms your journey into a spellbinding adventure, with the sun casting warm hues over the surroundings as you indulge in the wine-tasting experience!
Throughout the tour, you will find yourself in carefully designed spaces created for both relaxation and discovery, where you can try 11 exceptional Santorini wines combined with delicious local snacks! Luxurious vans, equipped with modern amenities, provide seamless round-trip transportation by a professional driver, as well as comfortable transportation between the wineries, while a wine expert accompanies you throughout your wine-tasting journey. Additionally, prioritizing your smoothness, amenities such as phone chargers for various devices and car seats for both kids and infants, guarantee a worry-free and rewarding adventure!

Not enough time for all stops advertised
We met our driver and he said, "So where do you want to go?". He did not seem to know what the tour was supposed to be. I showed him the list of stops and he told us you cannot possibly do all of these in 4 hours. And he was right. We had to prioritize, so we did not get to see Fira, Pyrgos and the Monastery, or the Red Beach. We had to run through Akrotiri in only 25 minutes, taking pictures of the ruins and the placards to review later. We did not enjoy Oia (too crowded) so in retrospect we wish we had skipped it and done one of the other stops we missed. The driver and the vehicle were nice.

Absolutely fantastic
What a brilliant way to see the breadth of what Santorini has to offer, especially if you are only here for a shorter time. Steve our driver was super friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a great recommendation for the lunch stop at the end. We hadn’t appreciated that the agenda was set but this made it so much easier for us - well organised, and there was still room for choices in where we went. Steve was always exactly where he said he was going to be at the time he said he would be and he was very good fun. Thanks for a wonderful day.
