It was really wonderful. The guide was completely knowledgeable in Greek wines and did a fabulous tasting explaining the origins behind each wine. We thoroughly enjoyed this!

One of our favorite experiences in Athens! Amazing Greek wines, a fun and relaxing atmosphere, and hosts who made the tasting both informative and entertaining. We left knowing exactly how to order great Greek wine for the rest of our trip 🍷🇬🇷 Highly recommend!

Overall, this was fine. The guide was friendly, and I appreciated the diversity of wines we tasted (I hadn't had a Retsina before, so that was cool). Preferences are always personal, but I didn't love any of the wines. There were a number that seemed out of balance or too young to me (very high acid + high, harsh tannin + high alcohol); others were unexpectedly bitter -- I grabbed a random 20€ bottle of Xinomavro from a bottle shop yesterday, and it was much more complex and interesting than anything in this tasting. A fair amount of the production information was very simplified, and a few minor things were also incorrect (won't be an issue for most people, but I've had some formal wine education, and so it surprised me a bit).
Again, it was fine overall, and a nice way to spend 1.5 hours on a rainy day. It wasn't the best tasting I've done, but it wasn't the worst either (though the price was a bit steep for the quality).
Response from Host, Apr 2026
HI Andrew, thank you for taking the time to post a review ,we are happy you have enjoyed the Retisna which is the best Retsina of the Market, and we are sorry you didn't enjoy the rest of our wines to the fullest .All our wines are carefully selected to give the proper example from the Greek territory and they are all very well balanced and enjoyable as you can probably see from all our reviews!! Agiorgitiko it does have high tannin character which one educated in Wine should have expected it..! The Xinomavro of Foundis that you have tried its one of the most characteristic Xinomavro of the country!
Hope to visit us again so you try some different wines which will be more near to your taste!
Regards
Theo

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.
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!

Excellent event with knowledgeable wine expert. We loved the wine and cheese pairings and learning about Greek wines.
Erin_S, Oct 2025
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!
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!
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

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!

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!!
Karen_D, Oct 2025
Had a wonderful time learning about wine and the history behind it in Greece. Just enough wine and cheese for a tasting! Fun afternoon :)
Corina_L, Oct 2025
This was a fun experience, even as someone who usually doesn't drink wine. We were taught how to properly taste wine and tried some from multiple regions.

David_B, Aug 2025
Had an amazing experience and Tanya was a great and knowledgeable host. We went in not knowing anything about wine and left feeling like experts. Highly recommend!
Kathryn_R, Aug 2025
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.
Aida_S, Aug 2025
We really enjoyed our wine tasting! Not only were the wines delicious but we learned so much! I highly recommend this activity!
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.
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.
