Anastasia was so wonderful. She provided the wine tasting class with a full history of grapes, wine and the types of wines. Also how the choice of wine enhances cheese selections. All of the 8 attendees enjoyed the interaction and the relaxed session. Our group asked Anastasia for dinner recommendations and she provided us with a wonderful spot that did not disappoint. Great job Anastasia!!! Definitely recommendations this wine tasting. 😊
Fun experience!

We learned a lot about Greek wine and wine tasting in general. Penelope is very knowledgeable being both a winemaker and sommelier. The facility was nice and cool and the neighborhood is below the Acropolis. That said it isn’t like you look up and see the Acropolis during the experience. It was still fun and worthwhile.
Very nice wine tasting

The wine tasting covered 5 wines from various parts of Greece with a little slide show presentation to explain about wine making and the wines. The wines were all very unique and paired with a small cheese plate to complement the wines. The person presenting was very personable and answered all of our questions.
Informative, well-planned wine tasting

Artemis has studied Greek wines and is a real wine professional. We tasted 5 wines that she paired with cheeses of Greece. The studio setting was perfect for the unseasonably cold day. The experience was well worth the time.
Excellent intro to Greek wine

My sister and I are travelers and this was our first time to Greece. We absolutely enjoyed our experience and were facinated by the history and the VERY different types of wine found in the various regions around Greece. Definitely worth going to just understand the differences!! We had no problems walking to the location-easy walk from our hotel. The lovely sommelier was so knowledgeable and we truly enjoyed our experience. Our different wines were paired with lovely cheeses, bread and olives. Highly recommend!
Another excellent option in Athens

For this tasting, we got to taste a variety of wines from all over Greece. Our Sommelier (wish I remembered her name) was just the best at this store (Athens Wine Tasting Store). She was funny and relaxed, and gave some background and history of each wine. I wished the store was open at other times so I could purchase the wines on a different day before leaving Athens.

Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. She did a great job leading us through the tastings, teaching us about the different kinds of wines, and answering our questions. It was nice to have a little bit of food to go along with the wine, and the wines were really good!
Awesome Tour

Dorella was an amazing guide!! The pace of the tour was great. Everyone had an opportunity to ask questions. She explained everything we ate and its significance to the culture. Food was delicious as well 😊 There was so much food that we didn’t need to eat dinner !!

My friends and I were in Athens following a cruise and wanted to do a wine tasting during our stay. We've taken several Tour Guy tours and have always been impressed and this tasting is no exception. Our tasting was on a Monday night so we had Theo all to ourselves. He was a wonderful teacher and host, showing us all sorts of new things about white and red Greek wines. I've done other tastings before but I need went away feeling like I learned something new. We had an absolute blast and feel like we increased our wine knowledge after this experience!
