WINE TASTING TOURS
Santorini Wines are famous all over Greece.
We offer 5 hours private tour at the wineries of
Santorini. Explore the secrets of Santorini
wine and meet some of the most important
producers of the island like the Museum winery
of Koutsougianopoulos, Santo winery, get a wine
tasting there and see the best view of the
Island and of course the Boutary winery. We have
designed a special interest tour
for those who want to have Fan and get the best
out of Santorini !
We will start the tour from the point you
that you will select from your hotel or if you
come to Santorini with a cruise ship we will
meet you on top of the cable car, most likekly
at 10.00AM if you come in the morning to the
Island.
At
first we will visit the
Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum, which
is located in the road to
Kamari beach,
10 minutes a way from Fira by car. The winery is
8metters underground, tunnels of 300 meters long
are full of rare and authentic machinery used in
the years 1660 to 1970. The life of typical wine
producer of those times is represented by
life-size puppets dressed with old Santorinian
clothes and placed all around our journey. At
the end, we try their wines in the special
tasting area. Don't miss the fantastic “Kamaritis”
wine.
We continue our tour driving south to
Boutari Winery
in Megalochori.
Having 4 wineries all over Greece (Naousa,
Goumenisa, Crete and Santorini) and being one of
the most significant Greek producers, Boutari's
aim has always been to promote the Greek wine
culture. Following this principle,
Boutari
opened its winery in Santorini in 1989 and
played major role in the viticultural
development of the island.
We see the winery’s facilities and then have a
wine tasting. Boutari’s oenologists have
excellent knowledge of wine and its role in the
society nowadays. They are the right persons to
answer all your questions!
In the same village, we visit
Gavalas
Vineyard, which is the smallest winery
of our tour, but probably one of the most
authentic in Santorini.
Gavalas family
has been engaged in wine making since the end of
19th century. Cultivating grapes in their
privately-owned vineyards, George Gavalas
produces quality wines and also explores the
potential of rare and indigenous varieties. The
result of this effort is the white wine “Katsano”,
which you should not miss! Apart from the
winery, you can also visit the village of
Megalochori, which is one of the best preserved
traditional settlements of the island and
features typical Cycladic architecture.
At the end, we will have our lunch at
a water front
Wine restaurant In Perisa beach or kamari beach.
