Athens Evening Wine Tour with a Certified Sommelier
A guided journey through indigenous Greek grape varieties, premium tastings, and local food pairings across two Athens wineries.
This Athens wine tour offers an unhurried evening of discovery led by a certified sommelier, visiting two selected wineries and tasting eight premium Greek wines alongside a curated platter of local cheeses and cold cuts.
Greece is home to some of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world, and its indigenous grape varieties — from Assyrtiko to Xinomavro — tell stories of distinct regions and ancient soils. This tour brings those stories to life in a relaxed, social setting suited to both seasoned wine drinkers and curious first-timers.
The format is deliberately unhurried. Rather than rushing through a checklist, the experience prioritizes conversation, context, and flavor. Guests leave with a genuine understanding of Greek wine culture and a handful of personal recommendations to continue exploring on their own.
Couples, groups of friends, and solo travelers looking for a refined but approachable evening activity in Athens will find this tour a rewarding way to spend three hours in the city.
