Is Santo Wines (Wine Tasting) worth it for foodies?

Worth itFor food

For food & drink, Santo Wines (Wine Tasting) delivers.

Santorini's volcanic wines, especially crisp Assyrtiko, are world-class and genuinely unique to this soil — and tasting them on Santo's caldera-facing terrace at golden hour is a highlight. The catch: Santo is the big, busy, slightly commercial option, so it can feel like a conveyor belt at sunset. The wine and the view carry it.
