Description

Greece is one of the oldest regions ever to produce wine, with the earliest evidence of wine production going back at least 6,500 years. Meet your guide outside the Acropolis Metro Station to begin your journey through this history, learning how to identify, select and taste wine from an expert sommelier. Held in a charming location in central Athens, journey through the regions of Greece and discover the differences between the wines of Santorini, Crete, Monemvasia and Northern Greece. Learn how to combine wine with various cheeses and smoked hams, all produced exclusively in Greece, and understand the strengths and characters of different varieties of Greek grapes, how and where they grow and the many styles of wine they make. Enjoy 8 glasses as the tasting progresses, and you are welcome to order more once the experience reaches its conclusion.
