Even though everyone associates Greek with sirtaki and sandy beaches, you can’t forget to mention wine. Going wine tasting on Mykonos is a perfect way to make your trip memorable and authentic. On tours that last approximately 2 to 3 hours, you can get the opportunity to drink tasty wines, listen to traditional music, and try typical Mykonian appetizers.
What Should You Know About Mykonian Viticulture?
During the drive from the JMK airport to their Mykonos villa, tourists immediately notice the breathtaking landscape and nature of this small Cycladic island. What enhances the beauty of this destination is the picturesque organic vineyards. The locals put a lot of effort into making the best wine out of these grape varieties:
- Assyrtiko,
- Syrah,
- Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Mediterranean climate, the terrain, and the traditional method of production have contributed to the production of one of the most exquisite wines. Their commercial viticulture began in the 90s and has gained more attention since the party island has attracted many tourists from all over the world. So, an ideal way to make your trip extravagant is to go on wine-tasting tours on Mykonos and get a glimpse of the wine-making process in Greece.

Have a Drink While Watching the Sunset From One of the Mykonos Villas for Rental
If you don’t have time to spend half of the day at vineyards, you can still buy a bottle of the most exquisite beverage in Greece and drink it while watching the sunset from one of the luxury villas on Mykonos. What is more, your concierge on Mykonos can bring you a bottle. We recommend requesting rosés such as Miraval and Whispering Angel.
Miraval rosé will provide you with freshness and a fruity taste, and Whispering Angel rosé with a sophisticated and herbal flavor. Incredible choices would also be Assyrtiko from Santorini island and Malagousia from Northern Greece. However, if you want something special, ask your Mykonos concierge to recommend something exquisite. Bear in mind that you can take a bottle or two home as a souvenir.
