You step out of the air-conditioned van and the caldera wind meets you—salty, bright and quick to move you along the cliffside road. Vineyards here grow in low, basket-shaped vines that hug the volcanic earth; the island’s light slices across whitewashed houses and the Aegean beyond.

History
Wine cultivation on Santorini expanded under Venetian rule when producers recognized the quality of volcanic soils and pumice-rich earth.
Conservation
Santorini’s soils and limited freshwater resources are fragile; many wineries use dry-farming or water-efficient practices—respect signage and stick to marked paths to limit erosion.

Hydrate between tastings
Bring or buy water and sip between samples to keep your palate clear and avoid overindulgence.
