Private Sunset Wine Tour with 3 Wineries and Tapas in Santorini
Taste 12 wines across three iconic Santorini wineries as the sun melts into the Aegean.
This Santorini sunset wine tour offers an unhurried four-hour journey through three distinct wineries, guided by passionate local experts who combine certified sommelier knowledge with genuine island hospitality. Guests sample 12 carefully selected wines and enjoy artisan food pairings at each stop, from small-batch Greek cheeses to charcuterie boards.
Santorini's volcanic soil produces some of the most distinctive wines in the Mediterranean, and this tour is designed to make that story accessible to visitors at every level of wine experience. A certified sommelier leads each tasting, explaining the island's unusual basket-pruning tradition and the grape varieties that thrive in its arid, mineral-rich terrain.
The route moves through three wineries of contrasting character, from a family estate with three generations of barrel-making history to the largest cooperative winery on the island, where the caldera view frames the final tasting. Hotel and Airbnb pickup and drop-off are included, removing any logistical friction from the evening.
The tour concludes with a sparkling wine tasting at a hilltop winery positioned directly on the volcanic cliffs, timed to coincide with sunset over the caldera. It is a deliberately slow, sensory experience rather than a rushed sightseeing circuit.

Tour Itinerary
The tour begins at Anhydrous Winery, where guests walk the vineyard and learn about Santorini's unique basket-pruning viticulture from the guide. A tasting of six different wine styles from Santorini and Greece follows, accompanied by tapas-style snacks, and a certified sommelier introduces the fundamentals of professional wine tasting.
At Gavalas, guests explore the production area and hear the story of a family that has made both wine and barrels across three generations. Five wine styles are tasted here, including Assyrtiko and Vinsanto, paired with a platter of Greek cheeses sourced from small producers.
The final stop is SantoWines, the largest winery on the island, situated on the volcanic cliffs above the caldera. Guests taste five wine styles including Assyrtiko, Mavrotragano, and Vinsanto, and receive an individual charcuterie board with Greek cheeses and cold cuts while watching the sun descend into the Aegean with a glass of Santorini sparkling wine.
After the sunset tasting concludes, guests are returned directly to their hotel or Airbnb accommodation across the island. The total experience runs approximately four hours from pickup to drop-off.
