Wine has been produced on Santorini for thousands of years, and you will learn of the island’s ancient traditions and modern technologies when you visit two esteemed wineries. Founded in 1903, Estate Argyros is operated by a fourth generation of winemakers who craft boutique wines from indigenous varietals, such as the signature assyrtiko grape. Enjoy a tasting of some of Santorini’s most highly awarded wines, including vintages in limited production. You will also visit the newest winery on the island, Vassaltis Vineyards, housed in a sleek, modern building near the village of Vourvoulos. Here you will taste wines produced by young winemakers with a passion for the area’s unique volcanic terroir. Your wine trail ends in the capital of Fira, where you can explore the lovely cathedral and admire the clifftop views before riding the cable car down to the port.
