The tasting begins on a sun-scraped terrace where the caldera’s cliff faces hold the sea in a slow, luminous grip. Guests step from an air-conditioned vehicle onto volcanic stone; wind from the Aegean pushes at hair and hem while a guide lays out nine small pours—each glass a concentrated map of island terroir.
