Gavalas Winery
Gavalas family winery, one of the oldest wineries in Santorini, lies in the traditional village of Megalochori. The purpose of our family is to highlight the particular characteristics of Santorini’s “terroir”. The fourth generation winemaker is George Gavalas and the fifth is his son, Vagelis. With proper respect to the local varieties, we are focused on limited production bottlings. Gavalas winery vinifies the most vibrant variety in Greece, Assyrtiko, as well as Aidani, Mandilaria and Mavrotragano. In order to show the richness of the land, we are the only winery in Santorini that vinifies the indigenous rare varieties of Katsano and Voudomato.

Wine Museum Koutsogiannopoulos
This one of a kind museum happens to be nestled in a cave and because of its unique position this natural labyrinth is eight meters below ground and 300 meters long. It took our family twenty one years of hard work, patience, and perseverance to complete the wine museum in this remarkable location, but it was all worth it.

The best way to experience Santorini and its wine
My wife and I went on a wine tour with Christos all over Santorini and it was incredible! He arrived promptly at the designated time and place then gave us introductions. We discussed our plan of the day, things to visit, lunch time, and winery we were seeing. We were given the flexibility to choose whichever order we wanted and that if we wanted to do something different we could let him know. The car we were driven around in was a beautiful luxury sedan with a very nice interior and comfortable seats. Once on the trip, our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the entire island of Santorini, showing us the perfect picture spots, telling us the history of the island and how the island functions now with the tourism. He took great photos at every stop and took us to places that no one but a local would know for incredible views. He was a great driver who knew the ins and outs of the craziness that is the Santorini Roads. The lunch place we went to was right on the black beach and the food was phenomenal. Freshly caught fish and a huge wine selection (we had to hold off from that though because we had the winery next). The winery we went to, Artemis Karamolegos, was so nice. Christos walked us inside where the staff was already waiting for us with a table. We were given a tasting of 5 wines, 3 whites, a rosé, and a dessert wine. My wife who before this trip refused to drink any wine at all not only agreed to try a sip but actually liked them. The whites and dessert wine are unlike any other whites you’ll have from outside of Santorini. And the Rosé tasted like peaches! If you need a way to have a tour of Santorini we could not recommend anyone else except for Santorini Pickups!

Absolutely Amazing
This was our best tour on Santorini. It has a 5 star rating for a reason. Fani and Elias were knowledgeable about the wine culture based on the island. We got some behind the curtain tours at each winery that you just won't get anywhere else. Thank you for an amazing evening!

Excellent
We had a great experience for the winery tour during our honeymoon. Our driver was Elias and he was very friendly, knowledgeable about the Greek history and very flexible with our needs. He went the extra mile for us to have a great time and do as much as we could during the time of the tour. We ended up hiring him again for our transfer to the ferry port the next day. Very recommended!!

Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia cost?
+
Prices start at $286 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 Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia?
+
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 Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia?
+
Around 9 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia 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 Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia?
+
Included: On-board WiFi; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 538 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia?
+
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.
What happens to Santorini Private Wine Tour With Traditional Lunch & Oia if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
