The archipelago of Santorini was formed from a massive volcano, leaving the island a unique growing climate for wine grapes. Vines grown here are some of the oldest in the world as the volcanic ash and soils are immune to phylloxera. In order to protect the grapes from high winds, the vines are trained down to "baskets" that are often 300-500 years old. Wines are highly acidic, fruit forward, and highly mineral. We joined a sunset tour led by Michael, a highly knowledgeable and engaging sommelier. Overall a wonderful experience offered through Santorini Wine Adventures.
