Welcome to Santorini! I’d love to be your host. Born and raised in Athens, I now call Santorini home, where I've lived with my family for the past seven years. I have a bachelor’s degree in tourism and am a certified sommelier with over 20 years of experience in both industries. I moved from Athens to pursue my passion in a place where the finest Greek wines meet the best in tourism. With all that experience, I've become very good at teaching others about the beauty of the island and fine wines. I'm committed to providing you with a professional and enjoyable experience, with flexibility, comfort, and attention to detail. I offer my guests a unique and memorable touch to their visit, providing a one-of-a-kind gastronomical, sightseeing and local-like experience. Wine is not just a drink, but an experience that everyone can enjoy, regardless of their knowledge or expertise. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or just beginning to explore the world of wine, I'm here to guide you on your journey. If you're looking for a unique and personalized experience, let me show you the world's most captivating island with authentic Greek hospitality! Certifications & Qualifications: ✅ Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism ✅ WSET® Certified Sommelier ✅ 20+ Years of Experience in Tourism ✅ Authorized Travel Agent (Ministry of Tourism) ✅ Professional Driving License ✅ English Certificate 📌 Note: I am not licensed to provide tours inside ancient sites like Akrotiri.

Overview of your Santorini tour

Discover the authentic taste of Santorini on this private Wine and Olive Oil Tasting Tour, designed for lovers of local flavors, tradition, and stunning island views. This unique experience combines two of Greece’s most iconic products—volcanic wines and extra virgin olive oil—in a carefully curated tour that brings you closer to the island’s rich agricultural heritage. This tour blends gastronomy, culture, and landscape, making it ideal for foodies, wine lovers, and anyone looking to explore the true spirit of Santorini.

Your Santorini tour itinerary

Your journey begins in the heart of the traditional village of Megalochori, at the historic Gavalas Winery—one of Santorini’s oldest, family-run estates. There, you’ll explore traditional winemaking methods passed down through generations and sample 4 exceptional wines made from native grape varieties such as Assyrtiko, Aidani, Mandilaria, and Mavrotragano. Next, you’ll head to the iconic Santo Wines, a celebrated wine cooperative perched on the caldera cliffs with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided olive oil tasting, where you’ll dive into the story of olive cultivation on the island—from ancient times to modern production. Sample three Santo Roots olive oils plus one additional variety, paired with apple slices, bread, and a bruschetta topped with olive oil, tomato paste, and prosciutto—a perfect bite that captures the essence of local flavor.
