Marina was our guide, fantastic! Was very informative of the wine making process and the uniqueness of Santorini wines. Wonderful experience!
What a lovely opportunity to see Santorini, visit wonderful vineyards, and enjoy some lovely wines. The wines themselves are distinct and the history behind them and the vineyards was interesting to learn. Our guide was wonderful and enthusiastic. The sunset view at the end was magnificent. Highly recommend this tour!
This was an amazing wine adventure in Santorini. Panos was so knowledgeable about the wines and everything was amazing. The tapas were plentiful and each winery was different. We very much enjoyed the variety of locations. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic time on the Santorini Wine Adventure tour! Davide was knowledgeable, engaging, and a lot of fun. We learned so much about Santorini wines while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable. We were also lucky to be paired with a great group, which made for a fun atmosphere and good vibes throughout the day. Highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Santorini!
Fantastic wine tasting with plenty of food! The three wineries that we visited were all different and ot was interesting to learn about this unique island and the wine it produces. We tired 4 wines at the first winery and had some cheese and bread sticks, 4 at the next work some pitta, hummus and bruschetta, then 5 at the last with a charcuterie plate each. Well worth booking the sunset tour as the final stop is beautiful. Transfer from the hotel was excellent and we'd highly recommend this tour. Marina, our wine expert, is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Very likable and personable.
Tour guide was amazing! Great trip round three lovely wineries on Santorini. Good wine, good food and good company made it a truly memorable day.
Our guide Davide was lovely and so knowledgeable. The whole experience was great and well worth the price considering the equivalent directly from Santo Wines would’ve been 80€ alone. We were happy to have done the morning tour as it got busier as we were leaving. The nibbles were great and so were the wines. It was hot and no wind on the day and Davide was great at making sure the van stayed cool and air conditioned when we travelled between wineries.
Great food and wine. Beautiful settings! The sunset view at the third winery was unbelievably beautiful.
My wife and I did the sunset option for the food and wine tour. The guide(Kristine) was very knowledgeable and gave us a ton of information. You visit 3 wineries on the tour and spend about 45-60 minutes at each while tasting various red, white, sparking wines(Only 1 of these on the whole tour). The final stop on the tour is where you will stay for the sunset and the view is amazing. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get out and sample Santorini’s wine offerings and enjoy a beautiful sunset.
We had a fabulous time with David. We visited 3 different wineries and the last was the best with the sunset views of Caldera. He was extremely knowledgeable in wines and quite comical. He was a great photographer for the group as well. I would highly recommend this tour.
