Full-day Athens Wine tour & Cape Sounio

Join us on a daily wine tour and let us guide you through the entire process of wine production and give you a good insight in the 4.000 years history of wine making in Greece!
According to the mythology, Dionysus, the god of wine and mirth, entrusted Attica’s residents with the secrets of viticulture and the art of wine drinking thousands of years ago. Mesogaia region is blessed with a mild climate, year round sunshine and rich soil, surrounded both by high mountains and the sea, all of which contribute to a great variety of quality wines, equivalent to their international acclaimed counterparts. Let’s not forget that Attica is one of the oldest wine – producing regions in the world!
You will have the chance to taste some well – known Greek varieties, such as Savvatiano – produced only in Attica region – Assyrtiko, Malagouzia, Agiorgitiko and Athiri, as well as international varieties such as Cabernet, Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Learn straight from the local wine producers the secrets of each variety, walk through the beautiful vineyards and take back home some delightful Greek wines, right from their source!
Plus: combine your wine experience with a visit to Cape Sounio, where you can admire the impressive Temple of Poseidon and the breathtaking views to the Saronic Gulf!
