The warm temperatures bathing the island, plus its terrain of volcanic soil, are the cause of many lauded vines with centuries-old roots.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It was, in fact, Italian influence that brought Santorini to prominence in the world of wine. When the island was occupied during the Middle Ages by the Republic of Venice, which had access to major trade routes at the time, the fine Santorini wine was exported to destinations far beyond Greece. The famous Vinsanto, whose name originates from the Tuscan Vin Santo wine, is a comparable sweet dessert wine made from sun-dried grapes and serves as a testament to this influence still today.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>During the last several centuries, wines produced in Santorini became highly valued for their ability to weather overseas trips. It\u2019s even reached as far as Russia, where it became the Eucharistic wine of the Russian Orthodox Church.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Join a tour, like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/15-day-highlights-of-greece-1792011597\">15-day Highlights of Greece<\/a> trip, to explore the deep-rooted history of Santorini\u2019s heritage vineyards while tasting some of the best reds, whites, and roses in the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learn About Santorini Winemaking\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" class=\"wp-image-5883 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"santorini wine tour\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1170x778.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-585x389.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/681;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" class=\"wp-image-5883\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"santorini wine tour\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-2048x1362.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-1170x778.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174144\/sunset-wine-morning-evening-meal-romance-1331956-pxhere.com_-585x389.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A Santorini wine tour takes you beyond the clamorous tourist hubs and into the heart of local horticulture, where you\u2019ll discover the traditional process of winemaking that dates back to the ancient past.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You\u2019ll learn all there is to know about the wine culture of the island -from the equipment used to the ageing process and how the grapes are harvested.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Initially, winemaking in Santorini was done across hundreds of traditional canvas (farms).

Your expert guide will teach you about a wine\u2019s bouquet and aromas derived from the fermentation and ageing process, which you will then practise identifying yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By using your sense of smell during a wine tasting, you\u2019ll distinguish what most captivates your senses before even tasting the wine!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sense of Taste\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Saving the best until last, it&#8217;s time for a sip! A Santorini wine tour is the best way to directly distinguish, learn about, and appreciate the creme de la creme of local wines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You\u2019ll learn about which parts of the tongue detect certain flavours and characteristics. For example, the tip of your tongue detects sweetness, while the sides detect acidity, which produces that familiar mouth-watering sensation. A wine\u2019s acidity can reveal certain clues about the winemaking process of that particular bottle, such as the grape variety used.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Santorini Wine Tour is a Great Way to See the Island\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A wine tour can take you all over Santorini; from the cliffside to the rural countryside and down to the seashore, wineries and vineyards are scattered across the island.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gaia, a small winery, faces the sea and lapping blue waves that hit against a black sand beach. Just five minutes from Santorini\u2019s airport, visitors can taste both crisp white wine and full-bodied red wine on a stone terrace under tamarisk trees.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On your way to the west coast, stop by Estate Argyros, a premier vineyard with centuries-old vines in dusty fields, along with a modern winery surrounded by gentle hills and vistas of the Aegean Sea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Not far from Estate Argyros, head to Volcanic Slopes Vineyards winery for a memorable wine-tasting experience in a cave.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Then take the winding roads across the island to Venetsanos, a winery with the most dramatic cliffside location. Here, tastings are held on a rocky terrace overlooking the stunning caldera.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s hard to choose between Santorini\u2019s plethora of wineries and vineyards.

Nykteri wines are richer than standard Santorini white wines, with an intense citrusy aroma balanced with honeysuckle and mineral notes. On your tour, you\u2019ll learn that Nykteri pairs perfectly with seafood dishes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Santorini is also renowned for its excellent Vinsanto wines that are made from late-harvest, sun-dried white grapes and aged for at least two years in oak barrels. The end product is velvety in texture, boasting an intense sweetness with flavours including dried fruits like apricots and raisins.<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509035681059{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509350069266{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;post-cta&#8221;]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Don&#8217;t Miss Our Exclusive Offers!

Red wine varieties are made from Mavrotragano and Mandilaria grapes, producing a red that is deep crimson in colour and similarly rich in flavour, usually underscored with liquorice and cinnamon notes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On a Santorini wine tour, your expert wine guide will help you with anything you\u2019d like to know about Santorini wine, including the right pricing for each kind (which depends on the grapes and the year it was produced), as well as its perfect food pairings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enjoy a Free Wine Tasting\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-5888 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"santorini wine tour\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-5888\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"santorini wine tour\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/25174824\/marco-barsotti-0BxvQW6KJPA-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The cherry on top of any Santorini winery tour is ending the day by enjoying your own glass of fine wine!

I\u2019m Jessica, an amateur traveller from the Seychelles (with Swiss roots) but now based in the UK as a travel writer. I long to embrace different cultures, discover new places, and taste new food. I believe travel is an essential part of life, tying you to the present moment. I wish to inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and experience the out of the ordinary. And I also wish to show people what kind of delicious international food they\u2019re missing out on. I\u2019m also a big fan of ocean views, good tv shows, anything and everything Italian, well-made banh mis, and morning coffees.","url":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/author\/jess\/"}]}},"yoast_meta":{"yoast_wpseo_title":"","yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","yoast_wpseo_canonical":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5880"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5880"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7416,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5880\/revisions\/7416"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
