Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Sunset in Oia, Oia 847 02 Greece
inish with a late afternoon trip to the clifftop town of Oia to experience the legendary views of a radiant Santorini sunset.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Wine Museum Koutsogiannopoulos, Epar. Od. Messarias - Archeas Thiras, Vothonas 847 00 Greece
Being the only one of its kind in Greece, the Wine Museum occupies a natural cave. It is eight meters below ground, 300 meters long and has a labyrinth-like shape. The Wine Museum presents the history of wine and the life of vine-growers in Santorini from 1660 to 1970. The visitors can learn about the history of wine by viewing semi-mobile and still-life figurines. An automatic audio guide is available in fourteen languages (Greek, English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese), and a guidebook is also available in twenty-two languages (Greek, English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, and Serbian).
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Venetsanos Winery, Eparchiaki Odos Firon-Ormou Perissis, Megalochori 84701 Greece
Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition in producing wine. Originally was produced for the island and subsequently it was exported extensively, and particularly to countries such as Russia. It was built in 1947 by Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguished feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards.

Given the considerable price tag and description, I was expecting a terrific wine tasting tour that would fill up the 5-hour time slot. Despite the description, our guide did not appear to be an actual sommelier, and she added little value beyond what the wine waiters told us at the 2 wineries we visited. In reality, this 5-hour private tour was not really a “wine-tasting tour” but was instead a substandard, partial island tour with a couple of winery visits thrown in. One of the wineries was good, but the other was mediocre. All in all, a terrible value and a waste of time. Save your money. Visit the wineries on your own. If you don’t feel comfortable driving on your own, order a taxi or hotel shuttle. There are plenty available.
