Volcanic Wine Tasting at Santo Wines

### Vineyards on Lava Santorini has been producing wine for 3,500 years.

### Vineyards on Lava

Santorini has been producing wine for 3,500 years. The vines grow in a basket-like formation (kouloura) attached to the volcanic soil to protect themselves from the wind. The result is a mineral, fresh wine with an acidity unlike anything else.

### Santo Wines Winery

The cooperative Santo Wines winery, in Pyrgos, combines the island's best terrace with professional tasting. The standard package includes 6 wines (dry assyrtiko, nykteri, sweet vinsanto) paired with cheese and local products.

### Assyrtiko: The Star

Santorini's assyrtiko is considered one of the great white wines of the Mediterranean. Fresh, mineral, with citrus notes and a saline finish that evokes the sea. The vinsanto (not to be confused with its Italian counterpart) is a sweet wine made from sun-dried grapes, perfect as a dessert.
