The 10 Best Wine Tours & Tastings in Fira, South Aegean

August 10, 2021 Florencio Paulino

The Greek island of Santorini is a blissful spot for a getaway, and its capital, Fira, is a vision of dramatic cliffs and pristine whitewashed buildings. The Archaeological Museum contains Minoan artifacts from Fira’s ancient foundations, while several churches and monasteries offer a glimpse into the historical and contemporary religious make up of this beautiful village. Exploring the shops and cafes along Fira’s narrow footpaths is a leisurely way to spend an afternoon.

Our guide was great as we scheduled easy pick up and drop off locations. Each winery had a different feel as they were located in different parts of southern Santorini. Tour was finished off with Venetsanos winery which was located in the cliffs overlooking the caldera. We would recommend.

Had a great trip. The food served was excellent for this type of trip. Barbecued prawns and Greek salad plus a few extra options. The views on the trip were excellent and the crew were amazing. Our original trip was cancelled due to some thunderstorms but the team helped us fit the trip in before our flight which was hugely appreciated and the kind of customer service which makes it an easy trip to recommend.

Santorini is famous for its spectacular scenery and beautiful wine. A workshop combining the two just makes sense. But that’s not all you’ll be doing… We both know photography is thirsty work. Luckily, we’ll be in the right place to grab a drink. You’re fine with it being wine, right? The sights, the sounds, and the tastes... Starting at 9 am, we’ll spend the morning exploring the north of Santorini, capturing the island from one of its highest points as it basks in the sun. Along the way, we’ll visit off-the-beaten-path locations, see hidden gems and photograph the landscape from vantage points most tourists never experience. Then, we’ll make our way to the black sand beach and my second home – the Gaia Winery. Here I’ll put my enologist hat on to tell you all about the history of Santorini’s vineyards, wineries and grapes, before ending with your very own wine tasting session.

Inclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Wine Tasting

Exclusions: Photo Camera

We went with Dimitrios to multiple places in Oia, Imerovigli as well as somewhere close to our hotel. Our photographer was very patient, professional, knew where to find the most beautiful / best & quiet places (even on a busy day in oia) to have a lot of beautiful pictures. We received a ton of pictures from which we now can select 30 to optimize (difficult task - luxury problem). I highly recommend this tour, the fact it's a 4h tour total leaves enough time for pickup and to visit multiple locations, some tours are slightly cheaper but if there's only one or two hours available I don't see how a good result can be obtained (including driving-time etc).

I traveled to Athens in December 2020. During that time Greece was under strict restrictions due to the covid-19 pandemic. I booked the transfer in early December and they were very responsive to all my queries regarding my trip and kept me posted up to the last minute. I had a late night arrival but Christos, the driver was there on time with a warm welcome. The company vehicle was extremely clean,fully equipped with sanitizer and disinfectant wipes and masks (if needed). All the preventive measures were taken. On the way to Athens, Christos gave me a detailed update on the measures and the movement restrictions imposed by that time and thoroughly explained the procedure to issue permits (with SMS) to go out. I book the transfer back to the airport with Marryposa. Cannot thank them enough for their service and hopefully next time will be on their base, on Santorini island, for a full tour! Totally recommended for all travelers arriving to Athens and need a transfer!

It was a great day. Alex spontaneously got around a german-speaking tour guide. Alex and Kathrin were very friendly and perfectly focussed on our wishes. Both have an extensive knowledge of Santorini, really very exciting. I can highly recommend Santorini Tours!
