A new guided Greek wine tasting experience in Athens is inviting visitors to explore the country’s rich wine heritage through an educational yet approachable tasting held near the Acropolis.
Presented by OENO HOW, the experience draws inspiration from the long-standing place of wine in Greek culture, where it has traditionally accompanied conversation, reflection and shared meals. By combining tasting with storytelling, the event aims to help visitors experience Greece through every glass while gaining practical knowledge they can use long after their visit.
Designed for both first-time tasters and those looking to deepen their appreciation of Greek wine, the experience introduces participants to native grape varieties, regional styles and the fundamentals of wine tasting in a relaxed, conversation-driven setting. No previous wine knowledge is required.

During the tasting, guests sample five carefully selected Greek wines—three white and two red—while learning how to evaluate aromas, balance and structure through clear, step-by-step guidance. The session also covers the basics of food and wine pairing, along with practical advice on choosing and buying wine with confidence. Local cheese pairings, breadsticks and filtered water are included.
The tastings are conducted in English by a professionally trained wine expert who combines international wine education with structured tasting principles. Organizers say the emphasis is on making wine education accessible, avoiding technical jargon while encouraging questions and discussion throughout the experience.

Beyond the wines themselves, the tasting places Greek winemaking within its broader cultural context. Participants are introduced to the role of wine in Greek history and mythology, the country’s diverse terroir regions and centuries of winemaking tradition.
