Athens: Wine Tasting Under the Acropolis

Greek wine with a view

Greece has wine traditions stretching back millennia, with indigenous grape varieties and terroirs found nowhere else on earth. This tasting combines premium Greek wines with one of the world's great views: the illuminated Acropolis glowing against the night sky, creating an experience that captures Athens at its romantic best.

The wines

You taste wines from across Greece, guided by a sommelier who knows the country's wine regions intimately. Expect Assyrtiko from volcanic Santorini with its distinctive minerality, complex reds from the mountains of Macedonia, aromatic whites from the Peloponnese, and perhaps an aged Xinomavro that challenges assumptions about Greek wine's ability to age. Each glass comes with context about the grape, the region, the producer, and the traditions behind it.

The setting

The tasting venue offers views of the Acropolis that become magical as evening falls and the ancient monuments light up against the darkening sky. The combination of fine wine and this extraordinary backdrop creates an experience that captures Athens at its most atmospheric. It is wine tasting elevated by location into something genuinely memorable.

What you will discover

Greek wine remains underappreciated internationally, which means extraordinary quality at reasonable prices. Your sommelier guides you to understand what makes these wines special and how to seek them out. You leave with recommendations and the knowledge to navigate Greek wine lists with confidence.
