Here's why every wine lover must go on private winery tours in Santorini

Santorini is without a doubt one of the best and most well-known tourist destinations in the world. Apart from its natural beauty, it is also famed for its exceptional wines, which you can sample on private winery tours in Santorini. Its wines have a peculiar, virtually unique flavor due to the volcanic soil.

Which wine should you try on private winery tours in Santorini?

The most famous Santorini labels are Nykteri, a dry, white aged Assyrtiko wine, and Vinsanto, a delightful, intoxicating wine with a powerful sweet taste. Santorini wines' distinct flavor and aroma propelled them to the forefront of the international wine tasting community, where they have received great reviews.

Although there are various kinds, the most well-known is Assyrtiko, a wine with a powerful body that complements the island's volcanic character. It accounts for the majority of the island's wine output and is one of its most important and identifiable exportable goods.

There are two wines in particular that we admire. One is Nychteri, an Assyrtiko-based white dry wine with floral and citrus characteristics. The second is Vinsanto, Santorini's famous red sweet wine, which is more of a liqueur. Its name is claimed to be derived from the Italian word Vin Santo, which means "Holy Wine."

In private winery tours in Santorini, you should taste Assyrtiko in all of its forms, both young and old, as each vineyard represents its individuality, as does each winemaking style. In a Santorini wine tour, you can sample superb varieties of wine such as Athiri, Aidani, Mavrotragano, as well as lesser-known Mandilaria, Voudomato, and Katsano.

What to accompany with the wines?

Genuine local items, such as fava, capers, barley, and cherry tomatoes, as well as dishes based on them, such as tomato meatballs, sponge, and stuffed tomatoes (either with zucchini flowers or cherry tomatoes).

You can explore all of the vineyards with private winery tours in Santorini. We offer unique packages that include a bottle of your choice and a selection of additional Santorini delicacies.

Santorini is a must-see destination for any serious wine enthusiast. Santo Winery's location, in particular, is an excellent spot to watch the sunset, as it provides a unique perspective on the caldera. However, if you visit Santo Winery late in the afternoon or evening, keep in mind that lifting it above the rocks can make it windy.
