Santorini Wine Tasting & Lunch: 6 Wines, 6 Paired Dishes

Six wines, six dishes, one meal where the food follows the wine instead of the other way around.

A wine tasting and paired lunch at an acclaimed Santorini winery restaurant, where you sit for two hours and eat six Santorinian dishes, each one matched to a premium volcanic wine. The menu draws on vegetables and herbs from the winery's own garden, and every pairing is designed to balance the wine's acidity, minerality and aroma with the food's texture and flavor. A live English-speaking guide is included, and the winery is reachable by public transport.

The Experience

The experience opens with a question most wine tastings never answer: what should you eat with this wine? Here, the kitchen has already decided. You sit in an elegant dining room surrounded by vineyard views and lush greenery, and over two hours you work through six premium volcanic wines — Aidani, Terra Nera Rosé, Arktos Sauvignon Blanc, Terra Nera Assyrtiko, Terra Nera Red, and Vinsanto — each one paired with a dish built to highlight it. The first course is dolmadakia with herbs and yogurt; it moves into a spinach-pie salad, then marinated sea bass, grilled octopus with aubergine spread, seabass plaki with potatoes, and closes with bougatsa, a baked phyllo pastry. Nothing arrives by accident. Each pairing is designed to balance texture, acidity, minerality and aroma — showcasing how the island's volcanic terroir influences both the wine and the food.

The vegetables and herbs are sourced directly from the winery's own garden, which means the menu shifts with the season and stays rooted in what grows here. This is not a tasting at the bar, not a flight of wines with a cheese board on the side. It is a fully seated, curated gastronomic journey, the kind where you taste how the island's original flavors work when they are elevated with a modern touch. Bottled water is included; a live English-speaking guide walks you through each pairing and explains the wine, the dish, and why they belong together.
