Santorini's dishes captivate us not only because of their taste but also because of the simplicity of their ingredients.

The second winery, Artemis Karamolegos, is one of the most dynamic wineries in Santorini. Inspired by his grandfather, who took up winemaking and viticulture as a hobby in the 1950s, Artemis founded his winery in 2004, growing it to become the third largest winery by volume on Aegean island. They own just over 3 hectares of vineyards (some over 100 years old) in Pyrgos, Megalorchori, Exo Gonia, Akrotiri, and Fira and have long-term contracts to cultivate another 5 hectares. They specialize in Assyrtiko, with various wines and styles, including numerous vine wines with serious vines (over 150 years old). The progressive and well-traveled Artemis and the talented young winemaker Lefteris Anagnostou have released the first orange wine from Santorini and are experimenting with their custom cement tanks. The winery has become a destination, opening the popular Aroma Avlis Food & Wine restaurant and offering cooking classes.

The tour aims to introduce guests to Greek cuisine in a fun and informative manner from a regional point of view, presenting not only the flavors and ingredients of Mediterranean cooking but also the beauty of Santorini as a world-renowned destination. From fava (the island's famous split pea puree) to tomato keftedes (to you and me), we've hunted down the best local dishes to try on the crescent-shaped, volcano-molded Cycladic island. Once you've mastered the local pronunciation, don't forget to order a glass (or two) of assyrtiko wine, a local variety.
