Embark on a wine-tasting journey into the beauty of Greek wine under the spectacular views of the Acropolis in the heart of Athens. Join our signature tasting; a fun introduction to Greek wine, to understand the main wine regions of the country and the uniqueness of the local terroir and their contribution to the flavour. We learn all this and more by sampling five flagship varieties, each from a different region, 3 whites and 2 reds. Together with the wine, you will be able to enjoy some local artisanal cheeses to enhance the experience.

Marica’s wine-tasting experience was absolutely amazing! Her experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and talent for wine absolutely come through in this experience. She picked wonderful Greek wines to share with us and taught us the basics of how to identify, taste, and appreciate what we were drinking.
My husband and I had a wonderful time and would recommend anyone who is a wine enthusiast or simply enjoys wine! If you are in Athens and are looking for something fun to do, I would absolutely recommend Marica’s tasting experience!
