About this tour
When Mia from our team tried this two-hour Greek food and wine tasting, we found ourselves in a family-run spot where two sommeliers walked us through PDO wines sourced from Greece's main regions—Santorini, Peloponnese, Macedonia, Thrace and beyond. The experience pairs three wine pours with a carefully curated cheese and charcuterie board, all from certified local producers, plus homemade chutneys, fresh bread, and olives. The vibe is unhurried and genuinely hospitable; the focus is squarely on tasting, learning, and understanding Greece through what's on the plate and in the glass.
Highlights
- Sommeliers explain wine terroir and production across Greek regions
- Cheese and cold cuts sourced fresh daily from small producers
- Homemade chutneys and innovative wine products alongside classics
- Map of Greek wine regions sent home so you can follow up
- Three separate wine pours (75 ml each) encourage proper tasting
- Gluten-free and vegan options available without fuss
- Family-owned space feels intimate, not rushed or touristy
What to expect
Settle into a relaxed two hours where the real work is tasting and listening. One of the sommeliers holds an oenology qualification, so the chat goes beyond 'this is nice'—you'll hear about soil, harvest timing, and why a Santorini white tastes different from a Macedonian red. Each wine pour arrives with a plate of matching cheeses, cured meats, and the day's fresh bread. The charcuterie rotates based on what the producers deliver, so there's a genuine 'what have we got today' feel rather than a fixed script.
The space is family-owned and unhurried. You're not crammed in with a crowd; the focus is on the products and the people in the room. Don't expect fine-dining theatrics—this is about substance. Gluten-free and vegan plates are genuinely catered for, not an afterthought.

Good to know
If you care about where your food comes from and want to understand Greek wine regions without a textbook lecture, this is a solid use of two hours. The sourcing is proper—PDO certification, fresh daily delivery, small producers—so you're tasting the real thing. The sommelier knowledge is pitched at curious drinkers, not wine bores. You'll leave with a map to keep planning.
Two hours moves quickly once tasting starts, so you won't go deeply into every region. The experience isn't recommended for pregnant travellers or those with spinal issues (seating setup, likely). Late-stage pregnancy and poor cardiovascular health are flagged too, so check if that's you. Walking and standing are involved. Peak times (summer weekends) may mean a less intimate feel.
Bring nothing special—water is provided. The package includes three 75 ml pours, cheese and cold cuts, bread, olives, and chutneys. Small children in prams are welcome; service animals allowed. Public transport is nearby if you're not driving.
