"Tasting wines at Santorini‘s oldest winery. Like we saw in Athens’ Attica region, they grow the grapes in a bush style, or even train them into a kolura/circular ring to protect the grapes from sun and wind and to capture as much humidity as they can. It’s fascinating how wine makers work with mother nature to best produce their wines."

Our day started with a tour by land with whom we would soon find to be an amazingly funny,witty, and sentimental guide names Izzy. He delighted us throughout the morning tour of Oia with his well told stories of the island as well as his personal musical career. He shared with us his own Greek music by both song and instrument.
We stopped for lunch at a local Gyro stand which was delightful. I chose pork with Tzatziki, it was yummy!
The explanation of the grape vines was also interesting to learn. This was my favorite wine stop. The rose was my favorite. The views here were stunning.
After some rest and relaxation I decided I needed to go to the corner Gelato Stand to have some waffle bites with nutella and vanilla gelato.
