Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini! We toured the entire island, enjoying beautiful views all along the way! We visited two wineries.. one more modern and one more historic- both we really enjoyed! Our favorite part of the tour was doing a private cooking class with some local restaurant owners. We learned how to cook some traditional Greek dishes and ate the most delicious meal of our entire trip!! Amani was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable and friendly! She went above and beyond for us! MUST DO tour

Great tour. Delicious wine. The most authentic cooking class! We had an absolute great experience with this tour! Amani picked us right up from our hotel and enlightened us with all the history of her island. She brought us to two wine vineyards and this incredible cooking class where we learned to cook delicious Greek cuisine! This company offers multiple types of tours and we can’t wait to come back for another! Highly recommend!

Amani was fantastic and a wonderful ambassador for the history, wine, food and people for Greece and Santorini. The two wineries were visited were tops and the family who hosted our cooking class and lunch were warm, wonderful and so open hearted. We felt the love of home cooked delights and had the most beautiful view at lunch. Wine flowed freely snd it was a perfect day.

Family / Friends fun day

Santorini private tours - Wine tours and cooking class with Amani is perfection. We had a wonderful day with a visit to two different local wineries. One was a newer production facility with a lengthy family history and the other a family owned and operated business. They both were wonderful. After drinking and enjoying our time tasting different wines we went for a cooking class with Litsa. Learning how to make some traditional Greek favorites was the highlight of our trip. The owners restaurant ,Aeolos Tavern , was amazing and the food was fantastic. We had a blast learning and most of all eating. Such a wonderful day. Thank you to Amani and Golden Ibex you made our Santorini vacation perfect !

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great food and wine

Jeff_G, Jul 2023
One of the highlights of our trip to Greece! Amani was a great guide as we tasted wine at two wineries before having a traditional Santorini meal which we all took part in making. Highly recommend if you are looking for good food and wine and a break from the crowds in Oia and Fira.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed our cuisine and our wines.

Fantastic wine and cooking in Santorini

Ossie_S, May 2023
Our guide Akis was so knowledgeable and friendly. Also funny. The wineries were perfectly chosen. We learned so much about the local method of cultivation and production. We also learned about the local sights and island history along the way. The cooking class was at a family restaurant atop a hill with amazing views. The proprietor Litsa taught us about the local produce and cooking methods. We enjoyed learning the recipes and making our delicious lunch. The small group made the experience very personal. A great way to experience Santorini.
