I enjoyed this wonderful tour when I visited Santorini at the end of October. The meeting point to for the minibus pick-up was easy enough to find and just a few minutes walk from my hotel. Our guide was very good! Before our first winery, we stopped to learn how the grapes grow on the island (round basket versus traditional vines as you may find in the United States). Next we stopped at three wineries. The pours were generous at all three wineries and the the view at the last winery was spectacular! I highly recommend this tour. I traveled alone - and the other six in my group were three honeymooning couples, but I still had a fun time!

I would highly recommend booking this wine tour!! Service was excellent, transfer was painless, the wineries chosen were beautiful & had delicious wines, and the view at Santo Winery at Sunset was so surreal. This is an awesome find and I cannot recommend this enough.

The choice of wineries was great, combining views, good wine, and good food. The guide was knowledgable and professional, both about the wine growing and wine making in Santorini. She knew the history of Santorini and its wine making, know all about the wines we tried, and Santorini wine in general.
