SantoWine tours and tasting

Santorini has been acclaimed worldwide by wine experts. The soil, the topography, the geomorphology, the climate – led to a rare natural environment for the vineyard which is reflected in the wines produced.

The vineyard of Santorini is 3.500 years old, it is considered to be one of the oldest vineyards of the planet.

The vineyard of Thera is one of the most peculiar in the world as is almost everything on this volcanic island of the Aegean Sea. The vines flourish here not only because they can withstand drought but also because they are one of the few wooden plants whose roots can penetrate the Theran land.
Local grape varieties produce high quality wines that fully express Santorini’s unique ecosystem.
The cultivated area begins at a height of 300 metres and the vines go all the way down to the level of the sea. The vine dressers built dry stone walls to protect the soil from erosion and to increase the cultivated land.

Varieties in Santorini include the white asyrtiko (cultivated at a percentage of 80%), the best known variety of the Mediterranean grapevine, and, in smaller quantities, athiri and aidani, along with other local varieties. Among red grape varieties, mandilaria and mavrotragano are the most prominent. The famous Vinsanto is produced by asyrtiko and aidani, sunned after the harvest and then aged in wooden vats.
