4-5 hours
Overview
Meet a local oenologist and winemaker for a private walk through Santorini's wine story, from museum to vineyard to cellar. Start at the Wine Museum to see how the island made wine long before stainless steel tanks. Walk the traditional cave houses (canaves) of Megalochori, then stand beside a 400-year-old vine trained in the low kouloura basket and taste the white wine it produces. Share meze, live music and a sparkling wine tasting on a village balcony with pappou, before finishing at an active canava for a Vinsanto tasting, often timed to the sunset.
