Santorini, the jewel of Aegean Sea, a unique wine destination.
People from all over the world have a lifelong dream to visit this special island at least once. You can understand this uniqueness either by arriving by plane or by seeing Santorini on the deck of a cruise ship. No matter how many times you visit, there is something about the atmosphere that captivates you.
The famous sunset on Oia, the black volcanic beaches or the Aegean architecture, one might ask?
All these things together and one more thing.
The tradition of viticulture that is lost in time, adds the sommelier of the group.
Which can be the secrets when we want to taste the volcanic wines of the island.
Secret 1.
Book a winery with a view of the volcano. Let the time flow and don't plan to go to a second one on the same day. The magic will be lost.
Secret 2
Taste as a consumer rather than an expert. Let the wine speak to you. Don't look for the familiar bouquet of wines. It doesn't exist. Because in the wines of Santorini you will discover something that only its terroir gives. What is it?
But the secret 3.
We won't tell you. If you find it, write us a comment on Allwinestories' Facebook or Instagram.
Secret tip.
The ideal destination to solve secret 3 is the Venetsanos winery.
Good luck!
Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, at Megalochori, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The winery was designed by the innovator George Venetsanos in 1947. Firstly operated in 1949 and was the first industrial winery on the island. It has a very rich history, unique architecture and amazing views.
