Top Pyrgos Wine, Beer & Spirits

Discover the Santorini that locals know on a food and wine tour that gives you a taste of the island’s ancient agricultural riches. Get out of the tourist spots and into the fertile interior, where traditional villages, wineries, and heritage farms await. Sample Santorini crops prepared in authentic recipes, and taste volcanic wines served up with spectacular caldera views.

The rich volcanic soils of Santorini make it a perfect location for wine production. Join a small group and visit two of the island’s top wineries to learn about the winemaking process as well as what makes their wines unique. Learn about the tasting notes during guided wine tastings that are paired with local snacks.

This experience stands out by combining authentic, hands-on cooking with an in-depth wine journey at the acclaimed Artemis Karamolegos Winery — one of Santorini’s most awarded wineries. It is not simply a cooking class or a wine tasting. It is a complete gastronomic immersion into Santorini’s culinary heritage, set within a modern winery environment that beautifully reflects the island’s character. Guests begin with a guided tasting of award-winning wines, where the winemaking philosophy and the story behind each label are thoughtfully presented. The volcanic terroir, indigenous grape varieties, and production methods are explained in a way that transforms the tasting into a refined and memorable sensory experience. The cooking lesson is simple, interactive, educational, and above all delicious. Under the guidance of a professional chef, participants prepare and cook four traditional recipes in a hands-on course.

This private tour combines a cooking class and visits to two wineries to give you a full picture of the best of Santorini wine and cuisine. You’ll have pickup and drop off from your hotel to keep things easy, then a three-course cooking class, plus tastings of eight different wines. You’ll leave full, with a recipe card to take home with you.
