Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic day with Constantine and Argi—our favorite experience in Santorini so far! We cooked a lovely, authentic multi-course meal with Argi, picking up tips on ingredients and how to recreate it at home. Then Constantine shared his amazing knowledge of Anhydrous wines, pairing them perfectly with our food. We can’t recommend this enough!

Wonderful experience in Fira
Mike was an amazing tour guide and our cooking class with Chef Argiris was fantastic. The experience was one of our favorite days of our trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review! Hearing that this experience stood out as one of the absolute favorite days of your entire trip means the world to our boutique family. Mike always brings such wonderful energy, care, and passion to every tour, and we are thrilled he took such great care of you. And oh, what a treat to step into the kitchen with Chef Argiris! Combining our island wines with a hands-on cooking class led by his talent and warmth makes for an unforgettable culinary adventure. Thank you for choosing Santorini Wine Stories to be a part of your journey. Best wishes, Santorini Wine Stories team

Amazing cooking class and wine pairing in Santorini
Nickolas was an amazing driver and guide. He provided great recommendations and interesting facts about Santorini. Our chef, Argiris was so lovely. He was knowledgeable and taught us how to cook some amazing Greek dishes. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was so worth it and then after you cook the food, you get to enjoy it with wine pairings for a nice lunch/dinner.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! Knowing that you found the experience so completely worth it truly means the world to our entire team. Nickolas takes immense pride in keeping everyone safe and comfortable on our scenic island drives while sharing fascinating local stories and insider tips, so we are thrilled his guidance hit the mark for you. And what a treat to hear about your time with Chef Argiris! He pours so much heart into his craft, and there is nothing quite like rolling up your sleeves to learn authentic Greek recipes before sitting down to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Thank you for choosing to spend your time exploring Santorini with us. Best wishes, Santorini Wine Stories team

Amazing cooking experience
This was a really nice experience in Santorini. We were picked up from the accomodation by Nick and he explained to us the difference of the vineyards here compared to the rest of the world. We then visited the wine cellar and then proceeded to the cooking class. Argiris was our chef and he was really kind and explained the origin for the ingredients we used for the day. We cooked a 3 course meal and it was rly fun. For those who are not proficient in cooking he takes care of the majority of the cooking. Afterward we ate the food that we cooked and we were served with different wines according to the dishes we were eating. All in all it was a nice experience :)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review of your day with us! We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed the entire experience, from exploring the wine cellar to sitting down and savoring the delicious 3-course meal you helped create! Nicholas is deeply passionate about our island's unique volcanic terroir. Chef Argiris is a true master at making our cooking classes fun, relaxed, and accessible for everyone—regardless of their experience in the kitchen! Thank you for choosing to spend your time in Santorini with us. Best wishes, Santorini Wine Stories team

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kitchen Stories: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Kitchen Stories cost?
+
Prices start at $223 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 Kitchen Stories 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 Kitchen Stories worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 66 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 Kitchen Stories?
+
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 Kitchen Stories 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 Kitchen Stories?
+
Around 23 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 Kitchen Stories 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.
What is included in Kitchen Stories?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Local guide; Bottled water; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Wine tasting. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Kitchen Stories include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 517 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Kitchen Stories offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kitchen Stories?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Kitchen Stories wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Kitchen Stories if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Santorini. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Kitchen Stories?
+
Across 66 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, knowledge and storytelling, the guide. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
