A guided wine tour of Santorini covers 3-4 wineries in a half day, with transport between them and a guide who explains the unique viticulture: the kouloura basket training, the volcanic soil, and why Assyrtiko from Santorini tastes different from any other white wine in the world. EUR 60-90 per person including tastings at each winery. The tour typically covers Santo Wines, Estate Argyros, Venetsanos, and sometimes a smaller family estate. The afternoon/sunset timing lets you end at a winery with caldera views.
The afternoon tour ending at sunset is more atmospheric than the morning version. EUR 60-90 per person covers transport and 3-4 winery tastings. You will try 12-16 wines total. Eat lunch before the tour. Ask the guide about Vinsanto, the sweet dessert wine made from sun-dried Assyrtiko grapes.
