Description
Start your journey with a gentle walk from the iconic Odeon of Herodes Atticus, making your way to a handpicked spot in the natural beauty of Filopappou Hill. This short stroll sets the tone, preparing you for an immersive experience where wine, history, and culture come together.
Once settled, enjoy a lively and approachable storytelling session about the history of wine in Greece — weaving together mythology, tradition, and modern winemaking.
You’ll then taste four distinctive wines from native Greek varieties, each thoughtfully paired with artisanal local delicacies such as extra-virgin olive oil, handmade bread, local cheese, and olives.
Throughout the tasting, you’ll be guided through the basics of wine appreciation, learning about the grape varieties, the regions they come from, and the passionate producers behind them. To enrich the experience, specially designed educational material — including a flavor map and a wine map of Greece — will be provided.
This is more than a wine tasting; it’s a cultural journey through Greek heritage, flavors, and stories, all under the Athenian sky.
