Santorini Wine Museum

My mother and I booked a wine tour and tasting through our hotel concierge, Melanie. Upon arrival we were already expected and received a warm greeting. The historical tour in the cave was creative and very knowledgeable. The vine and grape cultivation is astonishing and gives a next level appreciation for the wine tasting. The last room prior to the exit was very well done with historical artifacts provided by locals in the region and even a retelling of how the islands were divided by volcanic eruption. The bar and tasting rooms are beautiful done and well appointed. Much to our surprise we were escorted to an elegant tasting room. A lovely charcuterie board was also provided. The highlight was the service provided by Angela. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a deep appreciation for the history of each wine. She also guided us on the pairing of each bite. Angela changed my perspective on dessert wines for the 2002 Kamaritis is now a favorite. Thank you, Angela for being a delightful host. We purchase 4 bottles, 3 of which we hoped to survive 2 flights back home. Thanks to your superb packing we can now share Santorini wines with our family for they are truly one of a kind.

Great visit here and very informative. euro25 per person gives you the tour at your own pace with a little hand gadget in your language. Enter down the steps to the underground cave where the story of Santorini wine unfolds, sections show original old machinery, how the crop is grown, a story of the family and how the workers did their jobs. If you are interested in wine this has got to be for you, as you approach each story there is a board with numbers on, just press the corresponding one on your handheld & listen...no pressure so the time is yours. At the end you get to taste some of the wines 4 in all and the measures are ok, you will be guided to flavours and what to look for, of course everyone has different tastes but you can usually pick out the main back flavours. A must visit.

Attended with my 2 children, this is a must when visiting Santorini. The museum is great, it shows you the history of wine making by the family all set in beautiful caves. My two children enjoyed the audio guide too. This is then followed by wine tasting. Our host was Angela, she’s the best! Super friendly, really knowledgeable and helped us not only with wines but Santorini tips! Looking forward to bringing my family back on our next visit.

Lovely experience. Was almost private going in the middle of the week. The museum and wine tasting were amazing. Loved the design of the place It’s the second best wine museum in the world! Worth trying! Don’t be discouraged when arriving, the museum is underground and wine testing and shop on a beautiful and modern hidden place

This is a must-do if you are visiting in Santorini! We had no problem getting in to the museum and had no reservations prior. The self-paced 8m underground museum is narrated by an audio pack. After the museum, you’ll enjoy a wine tasting. Angela (see center of the second photo) was so well-informed and personable! Our teens were given snacks and sodas to enjoy. Angela engaged us all in the conversation. If you are on a cruise, or if you’re in the area, this is a must-do while you are in Santorini!

the ticket includes a guided tour of the museum, which takes you on a fascinating journey through history literally underground. the exhibits are beautifully preserved, and the entire experience is full of interesting facts and stories. after the tour, you’re treated to an elegant and well-organized tasting session, which truly feels special. a big highlight is the wonderful Ms. Angela—she’s incredibly kind, friendly, and an excellent storyteller. delicious snacks are also served during the tasting. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone, it’s a unique and memorable experience!

We did the Gold package tour which included 9 wines for tasting and a charcuterie board of snacks for pairing. Angela was our host. She did an outstanding job explaining more of the history of the family and then a detailed description of each wine we tasted, all of which were excellent. The snacks she suggested paired perfectly with each wine. We spent nearly an entire afternoon there and loved it. Highly recommend visiting this place.

A must see while in Santorini. The museum has really interesting pieces and you will end your experience with a nice wine tasting of really high quality wines. The tour offers sound devices explaining the different areas of the museum which enhances the experience. Also, the number of wines to sample depends on the experience level you choose while paying at the entrance. Highly recommend!!
