We did not go to a winery. It was a walking tour of bars. Definitely not what we expected. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.

My wife and I had an absolutely lovely time on our small group wine tour. Our guide George was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wine bars that we visited. 3 stops was perfect and the wines were delightful. Highly recommend.

Excellent wine tour!

This wine tour was excellent!!! Our guide was personable and friendly. She had local knowledge and explained the different neighborhoods we ambled through. Our first stop was with Constantinos a level 3 advanced sommelier. He answered all our questions and explained how to taste wines. We made 3 stops and the wines were delicious. This tour is a great way to get a feel for Athens and drink delicious wines. It’s a win win!
Wine, food and great company
Richard_G, Sep 2023
Most memorable moments (apart from the consumption of the wine samples) was the conversation with our guide which provided a fascinating insight into their life and the city.
There was also food aplenty! Probably because there were only the two of us and so the three sharing platters - one at each of the tasting venues - filled us up completely with cheese, meats and crackers. It was a great afternoon/evening :)
Great wines and people
Aaron_S, Sep 2023
Had a excellent time going across Athens trying different rosés, whites, and reds at various wine bars. Also had great cheeses, meats, and paired foods. George and our various sommeliers and guides were all great.
Awesome Guide

Wonderful wines and wonderful settings. All the hosts at each location were very knowledgeable about the wines and the cheese accompanying the wines. Our host, Xenia, was so personable and made the evening very enjoyable.
