Santorini Wine Tour Prices
What a Santorini wine tour costs in 2026, what the extra money pays for, and why some private tours are priced per person and others per group.
A Santorini wine tour that visits three wineries costs from $139 to $200 a person, with hotel pickup and around a dozen wines. Under $100 you are on an island sightseeing tour with one tasting, or buying a museum ticket with a few glasses. Private tours are priced per person on some listings and for the whole party on others, from $390 for up to four people.
The main differences
- A good all-round choice: the guided tour to three wineries, from $150 a person for 4.5 hours, with twelve small glasses, cheese and tapas, rated 4.8/5 from more than 700 reviews.
- The cheapest way to taste is a museum ticket. The Wine Museum ticket with tastings in Vothonas is from $33, with four or more wines and an audio guide, but no pickup.
- A sunset slot costs about $50 more than a morning tour. The small-group sunset tour with Santo Winery is from $200, with the same three wineries and twelve wines as the $150 tour.
- A meal is the clearest extra. The winery tour with food costs from $167 and includes lunch or dinner, which the $150 tour lists as not included.
- Every price is per person unless the listing says group. At the starting price, two people pay $300 on the $150 tour and four pay $600.

What does a Santorini wine tour cost?
Most three-winery tours cost between $139 and $200 a person. Within that range the price follows the length of the tour, the size of the group, whether a meal comes with it and the time of day.
Island tours with one tasting
The top sights day trip costs from $57 for nine hours by coach: Pyrgos and Emporio, free time at Perissa black sand beach, one wine tasting and sunset in Oia. Food and drinks are extra, and it is rated 4.7/5 from more than 3,600 reviews. It suits you if the island is the point and the wine is a bonus. Other small tastings cost from $72, but none has more than ten reviews yet.
Two- and three-winery tastings
The wine tasting tour to three wineries with transfer costs from $139 for three hours, with 45 minutes in each winery. The $150 tour above runs an hour and a half longer, in a small group, and lists twelve small glasses with cheese and tapas. The wine tour with sunset in Oia, from $133, visits two wineries and ends with a glass at a bar in Oia; it has the lowest rating in this range, 4.5/5 from more than 200 reviews.
Fees included, sunset or a sommelier
At $189 several tours with long review histories sit at the same price, so you are choosing a format. The wine tasting tour with snacks lists twelve wines and all admission and tasting fees, and is rated 4.9/5 from more than 750 reviews. The others at that price add sunset viewing, a brewery stop or a private car. At $200 you get the Santo Winery sunset or a sommelier.
Private tours
Some private tours are priced per person and some per group, which changes the sums for a party of three or more. The section on private tours below covers it.
The tours side by side
Prices checked October 2026. Operators use dynamic pricing, so these figures are a guide; check the booking page for the current price. Every tour named on this page links to its booking page, with its rating and review count beside it, and a low review count is a warning, not a verdict.

What do you get as you spend more?
Every tour in the table lists free cancellation and pickup, so neither separates one from another. What changes is the length of the tour, the size of the group, a meal and the hour you start.
The step from $139 to $150 is mostly an extra hour and a half, with snacks and a smaller group. For $17 more than that, the food tour adds lunch or dinner. Sunset adds about $50 to the morning price, and for that you take the last tasting on the terrace at Santo Winery. The wine itself barely changes: the $150 tour, the tasting tour with snacks and the sunset tour all pour twelve.
Among the $189 tours, the reviews and the format are better guides than the price. The tasting tour with snacks has the longest review history of the group; take the sunset viewing tour if you want to finish at golden hour, or the brewery tour if someone in your party prefers beer.
Are private tours cheaper for a group?
Not on every listing. The private wineries tour costs from $189 a person, so four people pay $756 at the starting price, the same per head as the shared tasting with snacks. Splitting it four ways saves nothing.
The five-hour private tour is priced per group: from $669 for two people, roughly $335 each, with a sommelier and pickup from your Fira hotel, the cruise port or the airport. It is rated 4.9/5 from 29 reviews. Other per-group listings are thinly reviewed: the island and sunset wine tasting tour costs from $390 for up to four people and has one review, and the three-winery tour with a photojournalist costs from $562 for up to seven and has none yet. Check the unit printed beside the price, and enter your party size on the booking page, because the starting price may not apply to a bigger group.
What is not included?
- Tips. Several listings say they are not included. They are optional.
- Lunch on the island tours. The $57 day trip gives you free time at Perissa to buy your own.
- Akrotiri. The highlights tour lists the site’s entry at €20 (about $22) a person, on top of the €20 tasting.
- The Fira cable car, if you arrive by cruise ship. Listings put it at €6 (about $7) a person for each ride, and one lists €10 (about $11).
- Wine to take home. Bottles are extra, and one private listing says so outright.
Is there free wine tasting on Santorini?
Not reliably. Most cellars charge for a tasting, and the highlights tour lists its optional winery tasting at €20 (about $22) a person. The cheapest paid option with a long review history is the Wine Museum ticket with tastings, from $33 a person and rated 4.8/5 from more than 400 reviews: you walk the old cellars with an audio guide and taste four or more local wines. You make your own way to Vothonas, and there is no food.
Should you pay more?
If wine is the main reason you are going, the $150 tour covers it with twelve small glasses. The tours above it add a meal, a sunset or a private car, so pay the extra if you want one of those. Below $139, check the review count before you book.
