01 · In a sentence

Santo Wines Winery in Pyrgos, open JuneSeptember.

A renowned winery on the southern slopes of Santorini with expansive terraces overlooking the caldera and volcano.

Wine tastings, local cuisine, and one of the most photographed sunset views on the island make this a favorite for larger destination weddings.

This place is one of my favorite wine experiences in the world. The variety of wines are interesting and the combination with the views makes it one of the best wine tastings in Europe and it’s even better during sunset. I’ve visited twice and highly recommend it for anyone visiting the island.
