Great wine tasting experience - We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of tasting authentic Greek wines. We enjoyed the five wines on offer. It was great to learn about wine making in Greece and to be guided through the process of tasting - how to determine all the qualities of the wines. Our host was very knowledgeable and shared enthusiastically and patiently.

Amazing Wine Experience! - My nine friends and I came into the wine tasting inexperienced, knowing nothing about how to taste wine properly. We came out super knowledgeable with a new list of five amazing wines to try in the future. The team truly helped us learn all the tactics of proper wine tasting while sharing tons of laughs!!

Incredible host and great Greek Wines! - I had the most amazing experience when visiting Athens on a solo trip here!
The location of the venue is easy to get to and find.
Then the whole experience taking you through the different types of wines, how to go through the tasting process correctly and how to identify different scents within the wine was something I’ll never forget.
I am a complete novice so was provided with incredible knowledge for my future wine drinking.
The most important part of this experience was Foteini!! Who was so knowledgeable, patient with all of my questions and the most amazing host and company for this experience. Thank you so much Foteini for providing an experience I will never forget!

A great opportunity to taste a variety of Greek wines - A really excellent couple of hours. An opportunity to taste five different Greek grapes that I would not easily have access to at home. A knowledgeable sommelier with a well prepared approach suitable for both beginners and those with more experience. Open, friendly and could answer all the questions asked of her.
