Taste the unique wines of this volcanic island in some of the best wineries with this private wine tour in Santorini.
The volcanic island of Santorini is very famous for its wines because of the different climate, the volcanic ground and the way in which the vineyards are growing. The wines of Santorini are very rich in minerals with high flavored notes, also the unique shape of the vineyards(small and rounded baskets) helps them keep the ground’s moisture.

Along the way you will have the opportunity to admire the fantastic sceneries of the island while your driver will share some interesting information with you concerning Santorini’s history and the local wines.
