Wine and Culture Tour on Mykonos Details
Mykonos is renowned for its beautiful beaches, its architecture, international celebrities, dining, its nightlife, and famous parties! A few visitors take the time to discover the island’s cultural heritage. This private tour visits the Agricultural Museum and the Nautical Museum, then cap it all off with a tasting of the island’s finest Greek wines. This Wine and Culture Tour on Mykonos prides itself on choosing the most unique and exceptional spots for you to enjoy during your tour, and you may choose from these morning or afternoon options.
Autumn is here and harvest is coming. In Mykonos, we have a special field created for the best wines thanks to the winemakers and the farmers, to achieve the best wine in the Aegean, as the weather is one of the principal advantages of this field.
After we will pick you up from your accommodation, we will begin your Wine and Culture private tour visiting the town of Mykonos and setting off on a walking tour of the old town. You will have the chance to explore the narrow alleyways along the waterfront as your local expert tells you stories of the pirates that once roamed the island’s streets. Our first stop is the Agricultural Museum, where the highlight is the historic Bonis windmill followed by the Nautical Museum with its remarkably preserved lighthouse and impressive collection of model ships.
After delving into island life, finish off your tour with an expert-led wine tasting and learn more about Greek wine as you sample some of the island’s finest varieties, accompanied by tasty mezes.
From the Wine and Culture Tour on Mykonos, we want to suggest a wine tour to make a wine tourist route: Drive to the north of the island, where you can see most of the vineyards of the island. Start your visit to a winery and remember to take your time admiring an amazing landscape. You can also visit later to the rest of the sellers, where you can find some of the best wines, olive oil, and Mykonian herb. They also use ecological agriculture, modernity, and tradition.
With the microclimate of the region, strong north winds, and lack of water, and due to the rich ingredients of the soil (remaining free of chemicals) pesticides, and intensive cultivation, healthy grapes are produced of a superior taste and quality. The traditional Aegean-sea grape varieties are totally compatible with the existing climatic conditions.
