What to do and see in Mykonos, South Aegean: The Best Wine Tours & Tastings

November 5, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

If the mention of Mykonos doesn’t immediately bring to mind bright white buildings, turquoise skies and tanned bodies lining golden sandy beaches, you’ve been living under a rock. The most popular Greek Island in the Aegean Sea is all about energy and attracts a diverse and upscale crowd that thrives on its stylish nightlife. During the day some privacy can be had in the more secluded north beaches, but the south beaches are all party. Ski, jet-ski, windsurf, horseback ride, parasail or just save up your energy for the evening ahead, like most of your fellow travelers in Mykonos.

Picture yourself under the Myconian sky, relaxed and caressed by the fresh breeze. Today all you need to do is enjoy the sunset and our wines. You hold a wine glass in your hands, feeling that you are only moments away from tasting the “nectar” which ancient Greeks considered the beverage of Gods. You observe the colour, swirl the wine, close your eyes and smell it…And suddenly you taste the melon, reminding you of the fruits you shared with your friends on a hot summer day. The honey and the memory of your grandparents bringing it gold and rich from the countryside after their summer holidays. You wonder how this is even possible… It is just a wine… And at that point, you realise the ancient wisdom and you understand why this is a godly drink… Enjoy an amazing wine tasting with Greek ancient varieties on the beach!

Inclusions: Bohemian, relaxed beach set up., 3 or 5 different wines to taste well paired with finger foods (please choose the correct package), Expert licensed guide WSET sommelier, Professional English Speaking guide/driver

We enjoyed our tour and vegetarian breakfast. We managed to see a decent amount of Mykonos Town before meeting our guides which I guess can't be helped (unless the start of the tour is rearranged to be at the bus station, but then again it depends which way the tour group will be coming from!). So that was my only critique. Everything else was great, the information shared, the recommendations for local vendors and the enthusiasm for Mykonos.

I am writing, not with a review of a past experience (yet), but just to give a shout-out to this VERY kind, and considerate company!!! We originally were suppose to attend their "Mykonos: Half-Day Mykonian Spiti Farm Barbeque (Farm Barbeque)" tour in May 2020, but, obviously due to the pandemic, we were not able to visit Greece. THEN we rescheduled for September 2020....nope, U.S. citizens can't enter Greece yet :( So we rescheduled for May 2022....guess what, no U.S. citizens allowed. Soooo.....we have now changed our visit to May 2022. This company (and Nikos) has been so flexible with us and so accommodating! They are quick to respond to our emails and always assure us that all is fine. Thank you!!!!

An area with many ruins, some still intact over a quite wide area, we had a guided 1 and 1/2 hour tour which covered maybe 1/3 of the area. Getting their in rough seas can challenge some, a windy day will create it
