Nicest experiences ever - This place is amazing, the people are class, they walk you through the painting or sculpting experience however they just aid your ideas, the wine is lovely and the location is perfect, if you are here and are considering I would definitely do it, we came in not knowing what to expect or to be honest what we were doing but loved it. Plus got some sound dogs.

Very Enjoyable! - I had a great time doing this activity! I am not creative AT ALL but this was a very doable and enjoyable experience. This is a family-run business and everyone was so kind. There was a problem with the bus dropping me off at the wrong side of town and one of them kindly picked me up to ensure I was still able to participate. I would highly recommend this to anyone and would love to do it again if I ever find myself back in Santorini!

Loads of fun - This was more fun than we imagined!! It was very interactive and hands on. We sculpted a piece of our choosing while sipping on local wines and enjoying a charcuterie board. The owner and his 3 sons were very friendly and helpful. The pieces were a bit difficult, but the owner is right there to guide. The family is very fun. Def recommend for wine tasting!! 10/10.

AMAZING!!!!! - Was an amazing experience. Nikos is really creative and his family was very accommodating. They brought out an amazingly delicious platter of small finger foods, and the wine was yummy :)). Our sculptures turned out amazing thanks to hands on direction and clear mastery of an art that Nikos has. We had an amazing time I cannot recommend this enough it was most definitely my favorite part of my stay in Santorini!!!

Priceless Memory! - Wow!! Talk about immersing oneself in the true art experience of Santorini — surrounded by incredible wine & food — and right on the water?!?! My daughters (18 &16) and husband carved yesterday while I had an appointment & they can’t stop talking about the incredible time they had in the art studio. They created beautiful flowers out of local pumice stone to bring home — what a perfect souvenir & memory.
