What people are saying about Megalochori

Dimitris was an amazing guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made our tour enjoyable beyond expectations! Pick from our hotel was easy. He called the hotel ahead of time, and organized a pick up spot. The first of the three wineries was a small, family-owned winery in Megalochori. Here, he gave us the option of taking a short walk through the picturesque village to get to the winery. It was a a great added experience! The next winery included an underground museum that was very informative. The last winery was the biggest and most modern. All three were great! The tour also gave us a good chance to see more of the island and for Dimitris to teach us things not just about wine! It was a great tour!

I enjoyed this wonderful tour when I visited Santorini at the end of October. The meeting point to for the minibus pick-up was easy enough to find and just a few minutes walk from my hotel. Our guide was very good! Before our first winery, we stopped to learn how the grapes grow on the island (round basket versus traditional vines as you may find in the United States). Next we stopped at three wineries. The pours were generous at all three wineries and the the view at the last winery was spectacular! I highly recommend this tour. I traveled alone - and the other six in my group were three honeymooning couples, but I still had a fun time!

Amazing way to spend an afternoon in Santorini! The wineries were beautiful and the wine was delicious, but it was our guide Mary and the staff at each of the wineries who really made the tour special. Mary had so much knowledge of Greece’s wine history to share with us and we learned so much during our tour. Highly recommend booking this tour if you’re interested in trying local wines while in Santorini.

This was a great tour to do in Santorini. It was a small group which was nice and gave you a chance to get to know the others on the tour. We went to three amazing wineries that were all different. They give you generous pours at each and good bites of food to go along with the tastings. Our guide Nikos was excellent and so much fun. Great way to experience what Santorini has to offer!

We visited two wine farms where every one was knowledgeable and friendly. The wines were varied and there is something for everyone. We were fortunate to be in a group with other friendly couples so we all got on well as a group. The Oia sunset was beautiful. I would highly recommend this experience
