Greek Wine Tasting Experience in Athens

5 Premium Wines | Hosted by a Professional Sommelier | Athens FoodSteps

Discover Greece through its finest wines.

Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, with a history of viticulture spanning over 4,000 years. From ancient symposia to today’s award-winning wineries, Greek wine has always been at the heart of Greek culture. The Greek word for wine, “Oinos,” is the root of the modern word “wine,” highlighting Greece’s lasting influence on global wine culture.

Athens FoodSteps invites you to an exclusive Greek Wine Tasting Experience in Athens, hosted by a professional sommelier, where ancient tradition meets modern innovation in every glass.

A Journey Through Ancient & Modern Greek Wine Culture

Wine played a central role in daily life in ancient Greece. It was enjoyed during meals and symposia, always diluted with water to promote balance and longevity. Precise mixing ratios were followed, and wines were often cooled using snow or special vessels. Ancient winemakers infused wines with aromatic herbs such as thyme, mint, and rosemary, and fermented grape must in large clay jars, sometimes buried underground for aging.

Certain regions—Chios, Lesbos, Ikaria, Rhodes, and Kos—were renowned for their exceptional wines, which were exported across the ancient world under strict quality regulations. Wine was deeply connected to spirituality, celebration, and Dionysus, the god of wine, joy, and transformation.

This experience brings that story to life through taste, storytelling, and expert guidance.
