Santorini: Guided Tour to 3 Wineries with Wine Tastings

About This Experience

The classic three-winery route, and the second most-reviewed real wine tour on Santorini at 722 ratings. If you want the standard version of this experience without paying the sunset premium, this is the default answer.

The tour is unusually honest about how the island works: your three estates are drawn from a pool of five — Estate Argyros, Art Space Winery and three others — depending on availability on the day. Nearly every operator does this. Few say so on the listing.

It opens at a vineyard on the volcanic soil with the traditional basket vines, and the guiding leans historical: the island's winemaking runs back roughly 3,500 years, and the tour spends real time on why that matters to what is in the glass.

Twelve small glasses across the three cellars, with Greek cheese, tapas and snacks, plus a mini wine-tasting session. Groups are capped at ten.

• Your three estates are selected from a list of five depending on availability, so the exact cellars can change day to day.

• Smoking is not permitted in the vehicle.

Meeting Point

Hotel pickup, not a fixed meeting point. The operator collects from accommodation anywhere a vehicle can reach across Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, Oia, Megalochori, Kamari and Perissa, and confirms your time by email after booking. If your hotel sits in a pedestrian-only lane — common in Oia and Imerovigli — you will be asked to walk to the nearest car-accessible corner. Transport is an air-conditioned Mercedes minivan.
