Full Description

Start your tour with a visit to Hatzidakis Winery, which is located in the most famous village of Pyrgos Kallistis, on the way to the monastery of “Profiti Ilias-Santorini”. It is situated 330 meters above sea level.

Have the chance to discover its unconventional structural design, constructed from above and moving downwards before tasting three of its exceptional wines. Continue with the wine museum in Mesa Gonia and get a glimpse of what life was like as a winemaker here.

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.

Learn about the stages of the winemaking process including ploughing in the vineyards, and then harvesting, stomping, and weighing of the grapes, about the range of machinery necessary to make wine all the way through to what is used today.

Refresh your palate by tasting the family's renowned volcanic wines.

Your last stop will be Oia and Sun Spirit Bar, one of the best places to watch the sunset. Relax and enjoy your wine in this idyllic space, as you watch the sunset deep into the sea.

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!

Joy

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.
