Highlights
  • Santorini Tours - Discover the most distinct local wineries and traditional cellars of Santorini through a unique 4:30-hour wine-tasting journey tour and authentic traditional settlement with historical houses, blue-domed churches, and old mansions during your winery tour. Taste 12-14 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 located in the heart of their grape estate. As with 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.

  • Anhydrous 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.

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

  • Artemis Karamolegos Winery - The history of the winery 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, active and full of passion for his work. From 2004 to the present day, he has managed to perform a real miracle and move the family business many steps forward and with great speed.

Great wine tour! - Very memorable trip. We learned a lot and got to enjoy some incredible wines. It was a quieter day and our group was only 4 people. We saw 3 wineries and each was great. The Assyrtiko wines were lovely, and we even shipped some back home to the states. Definitely recommend this exrursion.

Could have been better - The picture in the ad is deceiving. We did not taste wine on a cliff. The vineyards were nice but the wine selections were poor. All 3 winerys served the same wines and cheese plates. Michael our guide was great. Overall , not impressed.
