Highlights
- Hatzidakis Winery - 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.
- Wine Museum Koutsogiannopoulos - 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.
- Sun Spirit Cocktail Bar - 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.
- Sunset in Oia - Watch the most famous sunset in Greece from an exclusive spot in the center of Oia

Excellent visit to 2 wineries and great choice for sunset in Oia. - Excellent venue for the sunset in Oia, loved the 2 wineries and in particular the wine museum. Group was not too large, just 8 of us. Our tour guide, Savvas, was excellent and ensured we had all the information we needed. Transport was well coordinated as we booked the tour last minute - excellent.

Sunset in Oia ooh La La…. - Highly recommend this excursion as we were able to bypass the line in Oia to get the famous blue dome pictures. Watching the sunset was fabulous and our guide Yannis was great!

Wines, Tour Guide, and Sunset in Oia wrapped into one great afternoon - Beginner friendly way to learn more about Santorini and wine. At the end, had plenty of time in Oia in a reserved locale with a sunset view. The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Tasted about 10 wines.

It was a good tour, we... - It was a good tour, we enjoyed visiting the wine museum and at the end we had a perfect spot reserved to watch the sunset in Oia. The tour was about 5 hours long so not too long but perfect to enjoy wine, see the sunset, and still enough time to do other things on our own.

A lovely way to experience Santorini wine - We visited a new winery which was lovely then onto the wine museum which was a little more formal. Last stop was the sun spirit bar in Oia for a glass with nibbles watching the sunset. Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable

Great tour.... Once it starts - The tour itself was very good and the tour guide and driver were friendly and informative. The wine and acompliments were also very good, my particular favourite was the Santorini tomato paste which is a real speciality of the island. The Winery and Wine museum were really interesting and informative with the highlight for me being the cellar of the winery.
HOWEVER, the tour was very disorganised and ran significantly behind schedule. (Over an hour). Whilst I appreciate "Greek time" is a cultural factor here, switching buses, sitting in an office for 40 mins and then driving around to pick more people up that had been forgotten if not the ideal start to any tour, let alone a relatively premiumly priced one.
