Summary:
We took a wine tour with Dimitris and had a fabulous time. He took us to 3 very different wineries - a very traditional winery, a modern one, and one with very beautiful gardens. While we come from a wine producing region, Santorini methods and wine varieties are very different, and we enjoyed learning about the process and the products themselves. We samples 13 different wines. Dimitris also took some great pictures to help us remember the day.
