Santorini
is a typical Greek island with blue domed churches, narrow winding streets, a
rugged coastline, crystal clear waters and white cubed houses. Holidays in
Santorini have that little bit extra though; some of the most breathtaking
sunsets you may ever see, anywhere in the world.
It
is not a secret that the island has some of the most amazing wineries and wine
tasting tours in the world. And there is a very good reason for it. Santorini
wine tasting tours and wineries are amazing.
Wine
production on the island dates back to the ancient times and the famous
“Assyrtiko” variety of Santorini is famous all over the world. The thing with
Santorini vineyards is that the amazing indigenous varieties, the island’s
unique ecosystem, along with the volcanic soil, strong winds, rare rainfalls
and the hot and dry summers result in wines of a uniquely intense and complex
character with high gastronomic value. A Santorini Wine Tasting Tour will
introduce to the awesomeness of the Greece wines and their never forgetting
taste.

If you want to visit some selective
wineries in a Santorini wine tasting tour, then you should first visit the
amazing SantoWines winery
SantoWines Winery
With an amazing location, large selection of
Santorini wines, yummy Greek meze, great service and even an amazing gift shop
where you can buy local products of the island along with all of the wines that
you previously tasted. SantoWines was founded in 1947 and it’s basically the
Union of Santorini Cooperatives. Today, it consists of the largest winery of
the island representing all the cultivators and counting 1200 active members.
It is a must place to visit if you are in a Santorini wine tasting tour.
Venetsanos Winery
Venetsanos
Winery is a pretty new addition to the Santorini wineries but with probably the
longest history of the island. It is actually the first industrial winery of
Santorini, founded in 1947 by Venetsanos family. All the buildings have been
recently renovated and the old wine tanks have actually been transformed to a
very cool little museum. You can actually learn a lot for the innovative
production methods of the winery.

Estatae Argyros Winery
It
is true that you won’t find any bells and whistles in this one. No amazing views
and fancy decorations; just amazing wines and a team of very passionate and
friendly people who run it. But it is a lovely family business which is
producing Santorini local wines since 1903. Wine tasting is actually free and
the people who run the place are really helpful and very keen to explain all
the different varieties of the multi-award Argyros Wines.
