Oia Village & Santorini Wine Experience
Oia Village & Santorini Wine Experience
Experience the rich wine culture and heritage of Santorini, shaped over millennia by volcanic forces and tradition. Archaeological evidence traces vine cultivation on the island back nearly 5,000 years, while the eruption around 1600 BC helped define the distinctive character of its wines. Today, the unique volcanic soil allows indigenous grape varieties to flourish, producing wines of exceptional quality and individuality.
Departing from Athinios Port, you will meet your guide and board your private vehicle for a scenic drive across the island toward its northern region. Your visit includes Sigalas Winery, located in the plain of Oia in an area known as Baxedes. Here, premium Mediterranean grape varieties such as Assyrtiko, Aidani, Athiri, Mandilaria, and Mavrotragano are cultivated to enhance their aromas and flavors, resulting in wines recognized internationally. You will enjoy a tasting of four different wines, accompanied by an assortment of Cycladic cheeses and cured meats.
You will then continue to the nearby picturesque village of Oia, where you will have free time to stroll through its narrow streets, lined with traditional houses and charming boutique shops.
Following this experience, you will return by private vehicle to Fira town, where you may choose to explore further at your leisure or make your way to the cable car for your return to the yacht.
Notes: The tour involves walking on cobblestone streets in Oia, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Guests should be able to manage uneven surfaces and the tour is not recommended for those with limited mobility. The drive to and from the winery is approximately 45 minutes each way. The tour concludes in Fira town, and guests will be provided with cable car tickets for their own return to the pier. Guests under 18 years of age are not permitted to consume alcoholic beverages. Hot temperatures and strong sun exposure are common, particularly in summer months. Oia is one of the most visited locations in Santorini and can be very busy.
