Chis was an amazing tour guide. Her knowledge on Athens, Greece, wine and cheese kept our full attention and inspired us to ask questions. Her kindness and sincere character made us comfortable and left us full of great wine, food and knowledge. This evening could not have been better, I’ve been on similar tours in other countries and this was by far my favorite.

We visited as a couple, and the tasting was very nice and relaxing. We achieved our goal of getting to know different Greek grape varieties. Our guides were friendly, and we had engaging conversations about wine. I would also like to highlight the excellent cheeses that were served alongside the wine.

This tour is a great way to learn about Greek wines. We knew absolutely nothing about these wines so we decided on this tour. Our guy was a very pleasant and professional young man named Chris. He guided the four of us to three venues we would never have found. The we sampled to each of roses, whites and red wines. He was very careful to make sure we enjoyed our experiences and was a joy to be around. I highly recommend this tour.

George did a fine job of walking us to 3 different places for wine tastings. He was knowledgeable about the 6 Greek wines as were the hosts of each place. Would recommend this tour!

I had a tour with Anastasia who was very informative about wines in Greece in addition she was very informative about the culture of Greece. The experience was very enjoyable and I would highly recommend any person who loves wine to gives this a go. The 3 venues were also fantastic venues which you’d normally miss if just travelling through Athens. Highly recommend to any travellers! 5 stars!

Our guide Camille was lovely and she showed us some extra cultural spots near our locations because we had some extra time between stops. I would have liked a little more information from the sommeliers and servers about history and culture related to Greek wines.

My husband and I had a great wine tasting experience with our guide George. We were the only 2 people that signed up for the tour that day, and we appreciated the tour proceeding with only the 2 of us. George took us to 3 different wine bars. Each distinct in atmosphere and history. The first was at an underground basement with a sommelier attending serving us 2 different rosé wines with a generous accompaniment of cheeses, olives, and spreads. The wines were delicious. The second wine tasting was at a modern very classy wine bar that served us 2 great white wines with a side of cheeses and olives. The 3rd wine bar was at a trendy modern wine bar that served us 2 reds with accompanying cheeses and crackers and other accompaniments. George throughout explained the area and history of each place and Athenian history. He has a fun sense of humor and is very knowledgeable about the area. He was kind and considerate. We truly enjoyed our tour with George. Thank you George!

We did not go to a winery. It was a walking tour of bars. Definitely not what we expected. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

My wife and I had an absolutely lovely time on our small group wine tour. Our guide George was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wine bars that we visited. 3 stops was perfect and the wines were delightful. Highly recommend.

This wine tour was excellent!!! Our guide was personable and friendly. She had local knowledge and explained the different neighborhoods we ambled through. Our first stop was with Constantinos a level 3 advanced sommelier. He answered all our questions and explained how to taste wines. We made 3 stops and the wines were delicious. This tour is a great way to get a feel for Athens and drink delicious wines. It’s a win win!
Richard_G, Sep 2023
Most memorable moments (apart from the consumption of the wine samples) was the conversation with our guide which provided a fascinating insight into their life and the city.
There was also food aplenty! Probably because there were only the two of us and so the three sharing platters - one at each of the tasting venues - filled us up completely with cheese, meats and crackers. It was a great afternoon/evening :)
Aaron_S, Sep 2023
Had a excellent time going across Athens trying different rosés, whites, and reds at various wine bars. Also had great cheeses, meats, and paired foods. George and our various sommeliers and guides were all great.
Sheryl_C, Jul 2023
Guide was very knowledgeable! Wine was delicious and guide was very informative. There was a variety of food to taste as well.
Ellen_P, Jun 2023
Telis was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the different food and wines of the region along the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend his services. Great personality and demeanor. Kudos!
Sharon_H, Sep 2022
Wonderful wines and wonderful settings. All the hosts at each location were very knowledgeable about the wines and the cheese accompanying the wines. Our host, Xenia, was so personable and made the evening very enjoyable.
