Highlights

Your private, local driver/guide will collect you from the closest accessible point towards your hotel for our vehicle at 9:30am for the short and scenic drive to a traditional local farm. Stroll through a local farm, tasting seasonal products.

Next, visit a family estate winery. As you marvel at the vineyards perched on their steep slopes, you’ll learn about Santorini’s indigenous grape varietals, how they survived a plague that decimated Europe’s vines, and the secrets of the soil that gives them their unique flavors. As you enjoy a tutored tasting, you’ll learn how very much more there is to Greek wine than retsina!

From here, it’s time for probably the highlight of the day for any foodie – the chance to learn to prepare some classic Greek dishes. With the help of a professional chef, in a pretty open-air restaurant, you’ll put together a feast of Greek fare, with a uniquely Santorini spin – and leave with all the recipes ready to take home. A vegetarian option is available.

Finally, enjoy the fruits of your labors! Savor the 3-course menu you’ve prepared washed down with some of Santorini’s excellent wines. Soak up the atmosphere – and the sun! - as you feast on your very own Greek lunch. Your driver/guide will chauffeur you back to the original pick up point or hotel, around 2:30pm.

What an experience - The Santorini wine tour and cook experience is a truly remarkable and unforgettable culinary adventure. From the moment we were picked up we knew we were in for a treat. The tour guide, Savaas, was not only knowledgeable about the local wines, but he also shared fascinating insights into the unique viticulture and indigenous grape varietals of Santorini. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the hands-on cooking lesson with Chef Christo. His passion for traditional Santorinian cuisine was evident in every step of the process. From preparing the Santorinian Salad to mastering the delicate art of making tomato fritters, Chef Cristo guided us with expertise and patience. And the end result? A mouthwatering feast that perfectly paired with the local wines. What truly set this experience apart was the thoughtful attention to detail. Not only did we get to savor the memory of an exquisite gastronomic experience, but we also received all the recipes we cooked. This thoughtful gesture will allow us to recreate the magic of Santorinian cuisine in the comfort of our own homes. Overall, the Santorini wine tour and cook experience is a must-do for anyone who considers themselves a foodie, a cooking class aficionado, or simply a lover of food and wine. With Savaas as our guide and Chef Christo as our mentor, we were treated to an elegant and inspired journey through the flavors and tastes of Santorini. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure.

Amazing day - Our guide Costas was awesome! Very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a local winery and shared the history of Greek wine making while we shipped some delicious local wine. After that he took us to a local restaurant on the coast where we had a private cooking class from the chef. The chef was fun and engaging. Last we feasted on the food we made. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour! - This was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide Panos was wonderful! He was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and food, and the history of the island of Santorini. The cooking portion was so much fun and delicious! We visited a winery, a farm, and a restaurant/winery where the cooking portion of the tour was held. The meal was wonderful, we had plenty of time to relax and experience the meal we made.
