Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour

Discover Santorini's most distinct local wineries and traditional cellars through a unique 4:00-hour wine-tasting journey tour and an authentic conventional settlement with historical houses, blue-domed churches, and old mansions during your winery tour. Taste 10-12 glasses of wine from our three wineries, which are on our list and available on the day.

Estate Argyros

The beautiful and modern Argyros winery estate is located on the outskirts of Episkopi-Gonia, about 5.5 km southeast of Fira. Argyros' spacious tasting room with ocean views is in the heart of their grape estate. Like most wineries in Santorini, the main grape variety produced and used here is the white Assyrtico grape, although Argyros is also used to make a delicious Aydani wine. Their ruby-red Mavrotragano received 93/100 Parker points in Wine Advocate.

Anhydros Winery

Avantis Estate winemaker Mr. Apostolos Mountrikas fell in love with Santorini and the strong personality of Assyrtiko and started his project in Santorini in 2012.

He completed his project in 2021, founding Anwaterous Winery.

His philosophy is based on experimentation with ancient winemaking techniques that produce modern wines with purity and essential varietal characteristics.

Wines that reflect the connection with the arid land of Santorini, the majesty of the land, the volcano, the sun, the sea breeze, the Cycladic air - the vibrant personality of this unique PDO land.

These are high-quality wines that capture the pure beauty of Santorini. These are anhydrous wines.

Artemis Karamolegkos Winery

The winery's history goes back to 1952, when Grandfather Artemis cultivated his vineyards to produce wine that would satisfy the needs of his own family and then sell it to the island and the rest of Greece. Artemis Karamolegos, the grandson who replaced his grandfather and then his father at the EXO Gonia winery, is a young man who is active and passionate about his work. From 2004 to today, he has performed an absolute miracle and moved the family business forward quickly.
