This one-of-a-kind museum happens to be nestled in a cave, a natural labyrinth eight meters below ground and 300 meters long, twenty-one years of hard work of the Koutsogiannopoulos Family.

Reviews
Very interesting particularly the wine museum.
Both wineries excellent. Reserved seating and glass of wine in bar for sunset was excellent. Tour guide also stopped for fab photo opportunities of the 3 domes after sunset when crowds had departed and was very informative when we were driving around. Minibus also first class. The only thing I personally found a bit odd was that at the first winery we kept the same wineglass for the 4 tastings!
Very worthwhile tour. Both fun and educational!
A very enjoyable wine tour before going to see the sunset from Oia. Visited to family-owned wineries and tasted several of their products. Wine museum at the second winery was very interesting to see. Learned a great deal about growing grapes and making the unique wines of Santorini. Our guide was fantastic. Shared a great deal of wine knowledge to complement what the winery staff told us, but also provided lots of information about Santorini as we drove along the way.
