Wine tasting at a local Santorini winery, where you'll learn about the unique qualities of Santorini wines and why they taste so good. Santorini is famous for its exceptional quality wines with unique character. The island’s vineyards are the oldest in Greece, some with trees planted over 300 years ago. Learn about Santorini wines and how they owe their quality to the volcanic soil of the island and its microclimate. This includes severe droughts, strong winds, and dense night mists from the volcanic caldera, providing just enough moisture for the grape crop. Sample some of the finest Santorini wines and learn about the unique conditions that make the island’s wines so special. Did you know that the roots of the grapevines receive all their necessary moisture from the atmosphere and are truly epiphytic, harvesting everything they need from the air without ever being watered?
