Watch Santorini’s caldera go electric at sunset while tasting volcanic Assyrtiko and Vinsanto. This four-hour private tour combines a cave wine museum visit, a climb through Pyrgos’ lanes, and a cliffside tasting as the sun dips into the Aegean.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sky low over the caldera turns molten as you step out of the van and the Aegean wind nudges the first sip toward your lips. You begin underground: a cave-wine museum carved into volcanic rock where amphorae and bent barrels tell the story of vine-growers on this island. Later, a clifftop winery unfurls its terrace alongside the rim; the sea drops away and the sun makes the caldera glow.
