F.A.Q

Santorini Wine Tour Co reserves the right to choose which wine region and appellation to tour on any given day, to maintain a small group professional and leisurely wine experience without being rushed.

Due to the overwhelming amount of guests at certain times at various wineries, a relaxed and more private atmosphere is first and foremost our most important aspect to the quality of event for each and every guest.

Depending on the tour you will choose, we will visit 1 or more from our list of associates below based on availability: Sigalas Estate, Vassaltis Vineyeards ,Avantis Estate , Gavalas Winery, Koutsogianopoulos Winery & Wine Museum , Artemis Karamolegos Winery , Gaia Wines , Hatzidakis Winery , Venetsanos Winery and Boutaris Winery.

All of the wineries we have chosen to work with are worth a visit, and they all are unique; each in its own way! Amazing wines, gorgeous locations and remarkable facilities are supplemented by our Sommelier’s expertise making each tour a unique experience, as the majority of them were featured in respected wine magazines such as Wine Spectator, Wine & Spirits, Wine Advocate and many others!!

All the wineries visited during the tours are selected by us, based on many factors and the wineries’ availability. Please feel free to share any preferences you may have from the wineries part of our affiliate network and upon availability, we will be more than happy to accommodate you! All requests are fully noted!

The wines served during the tour are mainly whites and dessert wines, as these are the kind of wines the island of Santorini produces. This is a gentle note for guests that only drink red wine. Each wine tasting portion complies with the internationally applied wine tasting portions, with respect at the established B.A.C. limits.

We provide pick-up & drop-off luxury transfer for both our semi-private and private tours. Depending on the location of your accommodation, there is a designated pick-up time and location with which you will be provided upon confirmation of your reservation.

Allow 5-10 minutes buffer zone with pick up times due to unforeseen traffic, previously delayed pickups or other factors.

The Greek Food & Wine Tasting tour includes a visit at 2 estate wineries and a picturesque restaurant for a “meze” style feast! It is recommended for food & wine lovers who wish to focus on both the wine and food culture of Santorini.

The duration of the tours, depending on the location of your accommodation, is approximately 4 ½ hours.

Upon request, in advance , we can arrange at some of the wineries and venues visited to accommodate special food requests.

At the majority of our tours, depending on the size of the group & the tour’s type, you will receive services from both a designated driver and an expert wine guide.
