Fantastic wine tasting and cooking class - We love Raphael! He is so smart, personable, and kind. He was a great teacher. The wines and wineries that we visited were fantastic! The cooking class with David could not have been nicer. Raphael took pictures for us, gave us our privacy and was right there when the next course came out. He knows the right wine for each food. You will love this experience!

Great trip - Nicholas was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and had everything planned for us. Well worth the money. Had lunch at Karamolegos which was great and all the staff were very attentive. The first winery had wonderful views over the harbour. Nicholas knew a lot about the island in addition to the wines.

Great wine tour and tour guide. - Kostas was incredible. His knowledge, the rich history he shared, and the exceptional wine and food pairings exceeded our expectations. Thanks to him and this tour, we explored parts of the island we hadn't thought possible to include in our itinerary.

A day of decadence - Let me start by saying our guide Rafael was fantastic. He was entertaining and informative and made us feel very comfortable and special. His knowledge of Santorini wines and wine history was extensive. The first winery we visited was the oldest on Santorini with a museum that was fascinating. The engineering was impressive from the collection pools of grapes at the top through the de-stemming, crushing, huge vats/caves and all the way to the pipeline leading to the port. Rafael’s description really brought everything to live. The view was as amazing as you would expect overlooking the Caldera. The wines were thoroughly enjoyable and we had a small plate of cheese, salami, olives, tomato paste with capers and sesame sticks. The second winery was in a majestic garden, surrounded by vines, olive trees and flowers. At this winery we were served a five course meal that was paired with their wines. The wines were excellent as was the food. We had a last-minute request to be dropped at a different location than where we were picked up and was handled with no problem. We highly recommend Santorini Wine Stories

Wine tasting - It was a very special and wonderful experience and the tour guide Rafael was a very nice guy who knew a lot about the local wines and the cultural history of Santorini. The food was delicious and the wine was the best I've tasted in Greece. I would recommend this wonderful wine and food pairing tour to anyone visiting Santorini.

Incredible Wine and Dine - Everything about this tour was wonderful! From the front door pickup at our hotel, to the incredible information provided on our way to the winery, Nickolas was an amazing guide. The first winery the views of the caldera were incredible and the wines selected for tasting were delicious. Nickolas took lots of pictures of us so we didn’t have to rely on selfies! The second winery tour was very informative and so cool seeing the cellars and the machinery for how they bottle all the wine. Again, we got some amazing pictures and the food was absolutely fantastic! The 5-course lunch was more than we expected and we enjoyed every course with its respective wine. This was our first view of Santorini and it has us wanting to come back for more!
