Wine experiences

Wine from volcanic vineyards

Santorini’s vines grow low in ash and pumice, shaped by sun and sea breezes. Taste the island’s wines at the wineries that make them, from a cliffside tasting above the caldera to a small-group tour with a brewery stop.

Ratings for Greece Holiday Tours across all tours.

  • ★★★★★

    Billy was by far the best tour guide we’ve had. … We saw beautiful Oia, churches, beaches, cliff side winery with a view of the caldera, highest point in Santorini, and the list goes on. All while still making stops for us for restroom breaks and making sure we made it back to cruise ship perfectly on time to see sunset.

  • ★★★★★

    Nik arranged for a beer/wine tasting tour followed by a home cooked dinner from a local small holder. … Chris was very knowledgeable about the wines but surpassed himself with his culinary knowledge and skills.

    Before we left I knew that we wanted a more personal and tailored tour to explore Santorini than the cruise ship was offering. … it was a brilliant tour and possibly the best one we took during the week.

    Ted made our Santorini experience truly unforgettable. … The pacing of the tour was perfect—not rushed, but never dull—and everything was well-organized.

    We had Billy as our requested driver and it certainly was a great choice. … We were with Billy for 5hrs in a very comfortable car.

Questions before you book

Where do we meet if we arrive by cruise ship?

At the top of the Fira cable car. Your guide waits just outside the exit, holding a Greece Holiday Tours sign.

What happens if my ship or tender is delayed?

Don’t worry. We adjust the tour time to when you arrive, and your guide waits for you at the cable car exit.

What is the difference between a small-group and a private tour?

On a small-group tour you share the vehicle and guide with other guests on a set route. On a private tour the vehicle and guide are for your party only, so you can shape the route and the pace.

When do I pay, and can I cancel?

It depends on the tour: each tour page shows its deposit and cancellation terms under “About this tour”. For the Best of Santorini Shore Excursion, you pay a 50% deposit to book and the balance on the day, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the tour.
