What to expect

We have discovered a few hidden places that will enhance your tasting palette of Greek wines in a beautiful and friendly environment. It's quite common for wine enthusiasts to be in a country with great oenological interest, but have a busy travel or business agenda that do not allow them to make winery tours for wine introduction and tasting on site. As we are also wine lovers, we prepared various terroir driven wine tastings of quite distinctive, and hard to find, Greek grape varieties from around the country. From north to south, from mainland to the Greek islands, you will experience the magic of the Greek vineyard, presented by a well-traveled and experienced sommelier. Take a break and let your senses travel in different places of Greece only within a few hours!
