Visitors to Santorini looking for a memorable dining experience can enjoy a special one-night collaboration between Rizes Gastro Taverna and Santo Wines on Tuesday, July 7.
Titled “A Gastronomic Voyage Through Santorini,” the evening takes guests on a journey through the island’s food and winemaking heritage, combining contemporary Greek cuisine with wines grown in Santorini’s distinctive volcanic vineyards.
Executive Chef Alexandros Makropoulos and Head Chef Maria Sylla have created a menu inspired by traditional Greek recipes and premium local ingredients. Each course will be paired with a carefully selected Santo Wines label by sommelier Apostolos Maras, showcasing signature varieties including Assyrtiko, Mandilaria, and the island’s celebrated Vinsanto dessert wine.
The evening begins with the “Rooted Spritz,” a welcome cocktail crafted with tsipouro, bergamot, thyme, and sparkling Assyrtiko before progressing through a menu featuring traditional meze, fish fricassee, lamb giouvetsi, a selection of Greek cheeses, and a dessert made with local ingredients.
