Estate Argyros
The beautiful and modern Argyros winery estate is located on the outskirts of Episkopi-Gonia, about 5.5 km southeast of Fira. Argyros' spacious tasting room with ocean views is in the heart of their grape estate. Like most wineries in Santorini, the main grape variety produced and used here is the white Assyrtico grape, although Argyros is also used to make a delicious Aydani wine. Their ruby-red Mavrotragano received 93/100 Parker points in Wine Advocate.

His philosophy is based on experimentation with ancient winemaking techniques that produce modern wines with purity and essential varietal characteristics. Wines that reflect the connection with the arid land of Santorini, the majesty of the land, the volcano, the sun, the sea breeze, the Cycladic air - the vibrant personality of this unique PDO land.

A Lovely Day Around Pyrgos. 🍷
We had a really enjoyable time exploring Pyrgos and some quieter spots around Santorini. The small-group setup made the day feel relaxed, and we got to see beautiful places without dealing with large crowds. The winery visit was a real highlight, especially with the panoramic views around us. Lunch was also thoughtfully arranged. The team knew the island well and kept everything comfortable and easy throughout the day. 🇬🇷
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely feedback!

A Relaxing Wine Tour.
Our family had a fantastic wine tour with Santorini Tours. Elias was friendly, knowledgeable, and made every stop enjoyable. We visited beautiful wineries, learned about the island’s volcanic vineyards and local wine traditions, and tasted a great selection of wines. The tour was well organized, unhurried, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was one of the highlights of our Santorini visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your trip with your guide Elias! We hope to welcome you back again for more adventures in the future!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santorini is not rushed.
Is Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 215 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour?
+
Around 75 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santorini can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Santorini: Wine Tasting Small Group Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santorini within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santorini?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santorini?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
