Here's why private winery tours in Santorini is a must for every wine lover

Santorini is without a doubt one of the world's best and most well-known tourist destinations. Aside from its natural beauty, Santorini is well-known for its superb wines, which may be sampled on private winery tours in Santorini. Because of the volcanic soil, its wines have an unusual, almost unique character.

On private winery tours in Santorini, which wine should you try?

Santorini's most famous labels are Nykteri, a dry, white aged Assyrtiko wine, and Vinsanto, delicious, intoxicating wine with a robust sweet taste. The peculiar flavor and aroma of Santorini wines drove them to the forefront of the international wine tasting community, where they have earned rave accolades.

Although there are other varieties, the most well-known is Assyrtiko, a wine with a robust body that suits the volcanic character of the island. It accounts for the vast bulk of the island's wine output and is one of the island's most important and distinguishable exportable items.

We have a particular fondness for two wines. Nychteri is an Assyrtiko-based white dry wine with flowery and citrus notes. The second is Vinsanto, Santorini's well-known red sweet wine, which is more of a liqueur than a wine. Its name is said to be derived from the Italian word Vin Santo, which translates as "Holy Wine."

During private winery tours in Santorini, you should try Assyrtiko in all of its forms, both young and old, because each vineyard and winemaking method is unique. On a Santorini wine tour, you may experience world-class wines like Athiri, Aidani, and Mavrotragano, as well as lesser-known varietals like Mandilaria, Voudomato, and Katsano.

What should you accompany with the wines?

Genuine regional ingredients like fava, capers, barley, and cherry tomatoes, as well as recipes made with them such tomato meatballs, sponge, and stuffed tomatoes (either with zucchini flowers or cherry tomatoes).

Private winery excursions in Santorini allow you to visit all of the vineyards. We provide one-of-a-kind packages that contain a bottle of your choice as well as a variety of other Santorini specialties.

For any genuine wine connoisseur, Santorini is a must-see location. The Santo Winery site, in particular, is a fantastic place to watch the sunset because it offers a unique perspective of the caldera. If you visit Santo Winery late in the afternoon or evening, take in mind that lifting it above the cliffs can cause wind.
