Absolutely brilliant! Easy to find via google maps. Anastasia was great. It was just myself and husband and having done quite a few wine tastings I think this was the best yet. Good mix of history and Greek mythology thrown in and advice for wine. The five wines were different and very well paired with the cheeses. Can’t rate highlight enough! Thank you

Wine tasting was awesome. Very educational and the instructor was so polite and pleasant. You learn about wine potency, tannins, and the vineyards.

Excellent, informative, and delicious wine tasting!

Katherine_R, Feb 2026
Very fun and interesting wine tasting. Professionally done with a visual on-screen presentation to show us the regions from which the grape varieties were sourced. Lots of interesting stories and myths shared along the way. The wine and cheese parings were delicious and well-matched. We brought our children along and the staff was extremely accommodating providing things to entertain them as well so we could enjoy our tasting with minimal disruptions. Highly recommend!

Fun and informative!

It was a great experience to learn about greek vines. The host was slow, calm, very knowledgeable and friendly. Be prepared you are going to taste 5 wines. Just a heads up if you feel thats less.

Great experience!

We had a great tasting experience lead by Evelyna! She did a wonderful job of explaining each wine and cheese pairing while also explaining the history of each!

Wine must!

Shane_C, Oct 2025
We booked this tour last minute as it was a rainy day in Athens and our last with no set plans. It was the perfect activity to do if you want something super chill and to learn all about the Greek wines. We had heard prior to coming to Greece that they were known for great wine and it did not disappoint. Our guide was super knowledgeable and we learned so many cool little tips and tricks to tell a good quality wine from a a not so quality wine. It’s short and sweet and the perfect thing to do if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit!

Great wine!

Sandra_A, Oct 2025
Wine selections were excellent and a good variety. Host was wonderful and tasting was still held even though we were the only ones there. Had a great time!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear John, thank you for taking the time to rate us, we highly appreciate your 5 star rating and we are delightful you have enjoyed our high class tasting! Our plate with cheese and olives is carefully design to match guest needs during the wine tasting but if someone requires any extra quantity we are more than happy to provide. If you were in need for something extra you could have just asked us..! We would have been happy to offered you more. We hope to see you again in our Tasting room for another unforgettable tasting experience!

Fun and educational!!

I learned so much from this wine tasting, and had a great time doing it! I was surprised to find I was the only one who signed up for the experience for my time slot, but the hostel graciously accepted me as a party of one. Do not miss out on this!!

We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Whether you know a lot about wine or not, this class is a great introduction into Greek wines across the country. I would recommend this to everyone. The cheese pairing is great too! And the hostess was fantastic, explaining and answering any and all questions we had.

Wine Tasting 101 and fun

Antoinette_R, Aug 2025
Very interesting in learning the history of how wine started in Greece (think of your Greek Mythology) and the different areas that produce wines. Very informative and fun! The 5 wines we tasted were all good. Our Somiler was extremely knowledgeable and made the event very interesting.

Intro to Greek wines

Sandra_C, Aug 2025
Tonia our sommelier was very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. The tasting room was small and had AC which was lovely. We tasted 5 wines from Greece. They varied in flavor and taste profiles and gave us a wide view of Greek wines. Cheeses and water were also served. The tasting lasted about 1.5 hours. Like i said it was a small room. We sat in high top stools around a U shaped table. I'm short. My feet dangled. Unclear if they can accommodate persons with mobility issues. I'd recommend this.

Fantastic!!!!

Diana_K, Jul 2025

Wine Tasting Experience

Laurie_A, Jun 2025
Very Informative with a lot of history, interesting wines. The event was a little difficult to find thus we were late. The tasting consisted of 3 whites and three reds. We had already been on 4 other wine tours so some of the information for us was very repetitive. But for any newby to wine or novices very educational.

This was a great...
