Description

Visit 3 of Santorini's wineries on a guided winery tour. Taste the local white wine, nibble on snacks, learn how the volcanic soil impacts the flavor, and choose between a shared and private tour.
This tour takes you on a journey through the island that pairs picturesque views with
exceptional quality wines. Wine cultivation on Santorini began with the Venetian occupation
of the island; the Venetians adeptly understood that the mineral-rich volcanic soil of the
island would yield the finest wines. You will tour 3 uniquely distinct wineries with expert
sommeliers, who will guide you through the history of Santorini’s wine-making; we will travel
across the island to experience the breadth of what Santorini has to offer in wine-making. To
begin with, Argyros winery: one of the largest vineyards on the island; home to centuries old vines.
Next stop is Art Space Winery Musem Art Gallery is a unique Art Center within the pumice rock – carved chambers of an old winery located in Exo Gonia, Santorini and continues from the year 1999 until today to stand as a hospitable retreat for all those Greek and foreign artisans who share the same passion for creativity.
In the 1861 old winery, representative works of art from the sphere of painting and sculpture are on display, offering visitors the opportunity to come close to contemporary Greek art and the course of artistic expression in Greece.
What is more, Art Space Winery continues regularly the traditional winemaking production includes in its premises a contemporary winery offering renowned products of high quality.
Last stop is Venetsanos winery located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition of producing wine. Originally was produced for the island and subsequently, it was exported extensively, and particularly to countries such as Russia. It was built in 1947 by the Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguishing feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards
The experience includes a tour of each winery with an expert sommelier, followed by wine-
tasting.
