When in Santonini, Wineland is your gateway to the world of wine. Yannis you rock! We had such an amazing time! Highly recommended!

What an amazing experience we had in Santorini. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. As the streets are tight and it's very difficult for big busses to navigate. We ended with a fabulous wine tasting at Anhydrous winery for a tasting and dinner. The wine and food were fabulous.

I had a really great time with my husband and definitely learnt a lot about wines from Yiannis. It was an amazing experience. I strongly recommend it.

Enjoyed the wines and the scenery. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and shared interesting facts about the island. The sunset ending is beautiful.

Amazing wines and amazing guides! Incredibly personable people who knew everything about Santorini and the wines we were tasting! Would recommend this experience to any friend or family that visited! They do a wonderful job of curating wines and foods to match personal tastes and preferences the more you speak with them. You can not ask for a better tour in Santorini.

Got to see some amazing parts of the island together with detailed knowledge of Yiannis it made for one of the best wine tours I’ve tried. They were very accommodating in finding a selection of wineries which matched my preference.

Great experience! This wine tour in Santorini was a perfect blend of scenic beauty and exquisite wines. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the wine culture of Santorini in a short timeframe!
