Description
Step into the world of Greek terroir with a premium tasting experience that unfolds across three distinct and carefully selected venues in the heart of Athens.
With a small group of a maximum of 12 participants, your experience begins in one of the oldest bars in the city. In a cozy, private room surrounded by aging barrels and rich aromas, you'll taste four premium Greek olive oils, paired with a curated snack platter. Learn the secrets behind Greece’s 'liquid gold' and what makes these oils among the finest in the world.
Next, you’ll discover a completely different side of Athens, a hidden gem tucked inside a traditional stoa (arcade).

Your host will guide you through a tasting of artisanal goods made with love and care.
Our final destination is a refined and modern wine bar known for its deep cellar and passionate sommeliers.
