BEER TOURS · BREWERY TOURS IN GREECE
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 10 brewery tours in Greece worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend 4.5 hours touring Santorini’s volcanic wine country with guides such as Billy, John, Panos, or Yiannis. Visit Santorini Brewing Company, Art Space, Estate Argyros, and a final winery, tasting 12 wines, 3 beers, and local cheese with convenient pickup and drop-off.
“Billy was a great guide! Went out of his way to make the trip perfect for us.”
At Mikònu Taproom & Brewery, guides such as Yoshi and Margarita explain the brewing process and Mykonos beer culture while you taste five small-batch beers. The 30-minute visit includes water, taxes, and generous samples, with extra pints and brewery-only releases available afterward.
“Our tour at the brewery was well done. We truly enjoyed his expertise in brewing. He articulated well as connected with us all. Great experience, and the beer was good too!”
Visit Cretan Brewery near Zounaki for a guided look at local beer making, followed by tastings on an open terrace among olive, orange, and avocado trees. Guides Manos and Manolis explain the process in English. Add Cretan meze or lunch, and note that Sunday tours are not offered.
“Lovely tour guide who spoke brilliant English. Really interesting finding out about the way they make the beer and a really generous tasting afterwards!”
At Ftelos Brewery near Fira, you’ll cook a four-course Cycladic meal with an English-speaking chef, then eat it with a brewery-made beer. The menu includes Santorini salad, cod croquettes, split-pea dip, and pork fillet. Classes are limited to 10 and move indoors or under old grapevines.
“So much fun! We learned so much and the host was so genuine and great!”
Spend one hour inside Mykonos Brewing Company’s converted underground bowling alley with an English-speaking guide such as Margarita or Angelo. Taste five 140ml beers, learn the brewing process, hear Mykonian myths, and sample beers made with local ingredients.
“Margarita was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and friendly sharing with us all the details about the Mykonian beer scene and the birth of Mykonos Brewing company. They brew different types of beers and each one is more delicious than the next. My favorite was the Fragos’ko and my husband’s was the blonde saison. She also gave us great recommendations for things to do, see, and eat in Mykonos. Margarita, let us know when you come visit us in NYC! Thank you!!!”
Travel from Chania into the Cretan countryside with guides Christine or Thanasis. Visit Transfiguration Monastery, the ancient olive tree at Vouves, and Cretan Brewery for Charma beer tasting, Greek coffee, and olive oil in a traditional kafenion.
“Christine and Thanasis were great hosts and tour guides throughout our stay in Chania! They were both very friendly and very accommodating to our large group and the cost of their trips were great value for money. They had great recommendations and always ensured we were happy and comfortable, couldn’t recommend more!”
Join Dimitris or another English-speaking local guide for a two-hour walk through Mykonos Town, then ride by minivan to Mykonos Brewery for a 45-minute tour and four beer tastings. You return to the police station meeting point after the brewery visit.
Spend two hours exploring Mykonos Town with a local guide such as Georgia, then ride by air-conditioned minivan to Mykonian Brewery Company for a 45-minute tasting of four locally made beers. The semi-private tour runs 3 to 4 hours and returns to the starting point.
“The walk through town was really nice, so many nooks and crannies you wouldn’t see on your own but Georgia was great, knowledgeable and nice personality. The beer tasting was good but everyone has different tastebuds. Overall, worth the time and money!”
Visit two Santorini wineries, taste Assyrtiko, Aidani, and Vinsanto, and learn how volcanic soil shapes the island’s wines. A sommelier leads the tastings, while an English-speaking guide handles transport for groups of up to 10. A brewery stop adds a pleasant change of pace, except on Sundays.
Join a small group of up to six for three Santorini wineries and a local brewery. Maria handles pickup and transport, while sommeliers guide tastings of at least 12 PDO and indigenous wines, with cheese, snacks, water, and beer included.
“Booked this last minute and they weee very accommodating. Great wine tasting. Maria was great. She picked us up and took us everywhere. First stop was donkey beer brewery. It was ok and people were nice. We bought a donkey ass tshirt. The wineries were great. Panos at the first winery was awesome. It’s family owned and was full of art. My wife and Panos connected through art. The next two wineries were also great. They all served us cheese and snacks. The wines were good and the guides were very nice and kept us interested. It was definitely worth it.”
