4Santorini’s Wine Industry Is One of the Oldest in the World

Santorini has been producing wine for over 3,500 years, making it one of the world’s oldest wine-producing regions. The island’s volcanic soil, combined with its dry climate and unique basket-shaped vine-growing technique, creates distinctive wines.

The most famous variety is Assyrtiko, a crisp and mineral-rich white wine that pairs perfectly with fresh seafood. Wine enthusiasts can visit local wineries such as Santo Wines and Venetsanos Winery for tastings and panoramic views of the caldera.
