Wine Tasting

Greece includes wine in its culture the same way as ancient Greek temples.
Look at all the sculptures of Dionysus, the god of wine and pleasure who made it his goal to share the knowledge of grape growth, and when you consider Homer’s stories of Greek warriors sipping locally produced wine on the eve of the Siege of Troy.

However, there is much more to going wine tasting and visiting vineyards in Greece than just stories and history.
It’s one of the greatest ways to truly get to know Greece, with its mountains, valleys, and prime wine-growing regions (mountainous, continental and volcanic).

The greatest part is that you will get to know the people who have dedicated their lives to producing Greek wines that match the highest European standards at artisanal, family-run wineries that have combined cutting-edge viticulture methods with time-honored practices.

In vineyards around the nation, a number of the most popular grape varietals from Europe thrive (from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir to Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc).

So far, as anticipated, this is where learning about Greece via its wines truly begins to become interesting as you learn about the regional grape types that give Greek wines their distinctive color and flavor.

International wine specialists are familiar with the traditional varieties: Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro, which provide rich, fruity red wines, and Moschofilero and Assyrtiko, which produce fragrant and crisp, clean white wines.
Mavrodaphne, Malagouzia, Moschato, Savatiano, and Roditis are some of the best-known new grape varietals.
However, there are many more, including more than 100 wines with Protected Geographical Indication and no fewer than 34 places in Greece having PDO certification.
