A beautiful little gem of a place. We had the best evening. Our host was wonderful and very knowledgeable and all the wines were delicious and each one quite surprising. The cheese and charcuterie were the perfect accompliment. Location was stunning too. Lovely just taking your time with a good wine and watching the world go by. We liked it so much we came back to visit the next day.

Absolutely fabulous hospitality and fantastic wines and food pairings. A hidden gem and would thoroughly recommend. Passerbys often look on jealously!
Sophia presented a tasting through the various wine regions of Greece. Six Greek wines (1 bubbles, 2 whites and 3 reds) with a full description of each, water, and a plentiful charcuterie board of meats, cheeses, bread sticks and olives. Well worth the price! We enjoyed the amazing Sophia and her daughter, Melina, so much we bought 4 bottles and went back the next afternoon for another visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Maria did a great job and I would recommend this to anyone. There was plenty of stops and food and information for all we had four in our group and it was just so nice. We really got to taste and see a lot and learn a lot. Thank you.
We really enjoyed the winetasting at FineWine. The owners were very friendly and gave us many new insights into the Greek wine regions and grapes. The completementary food was very good. We would happily come back in the future
Such a beautiful place with an amazing selection! The owner was so kind and even let me try sparkling and natural wines in addition to the white and red. I definitely need to come back with my husband because it’s so romantic and charming!
This was a phenomenal experience! The service was fantastic, the location is very cozy, the wines were superb and the charcuterie delicious. Cannot recommend this enough.
Elena the owner was so knowledge on each Greek wine she served us. She went as far as to show a map were the grapes were grown and how they differ. The, taste, the color, and the grape used from the regions etc. we tasted 6 with each came new clean glass. Highly Recommend. Cute area of Plake but tucked. away. Very Good wine.
Delicious wines and foods, wonderful presentation, relaxed family atmosphere, knowledgeable and kind owner! Highly recommend!! A highlight of our time in Athens!!
Just an all round amazing experience , shown the map of the regions, had plenty time to sample the wines with absolute ease, no pressure to buy and learned all about the wines sampled
Sofia, our host, was very knowledgeable about all the greek regions and the different grapes. The wines were delicious and the charcuterie plate provided was excellent. We stayed for extra glasses because we loved it so much.
The wine were amazing and the sommelier had a lot of experience. Amazing to sit in a calm street in athens and zip some chilled wine.
What a great experience! If you’re a wine lover, this is a MUST! We tasted 6 local, family produced wines and they were all great. The owner & her daughter were so knowledgeable and friendly. They paired the wine with an amazing charcuterie board. I highly recommend this experience!
Sofia is so knowledgeable and friendly. The tasting was perfect and I learned so much about Greek wine.
So lucky to have stumbled across this wine bar. Sophia who does the wine tasting and runs the wine bar is incredible. The wine list she has curated is dynamite all Greek wines and all delicious. She is very passionate and kind while having great knowledge. That being said great vibe and wine at this place I can not recommended it more highly.
Magical place We came in the eveening Very Good service With smile Very good wine good vibe We had a great time Nice music We will come back
Perfect spot to enjoy wine and become educated on Greek vintages. Right near the Acropolis. Our host was great!
The reviews say it all! I can’t say enough about how wonderful this wine tasting was! We were running late from another tour and a little bit lost, but Sophia made it all right for us and we had a delicious charcuterie board and tasted Greek wines around the map, from Assyrtiko to Maaloisia grapes, it was a wonderful education about the special wines of Greece. This was the highlight of our trip!
Great selection of wines and delicious charcuterie platter - loved the local breads and olives. The hostess was a gem.
We got to taste 6 wines and have a delicious platter! All hosts were extremely warm and knowledgeable. We’ve done lots of wine tastings and this was the best!
Súper hospitality and amazing wine. Also tasted a selected olive oil. We took a small piece of Greek culture with us from Finewine! Thank you!
The hostess was so knowledgeable about wines and the regions they came from. The atmosphere was very cute and the wine was excellent!
Pure perfection - lovely wines, helpful introduction to the region and grapes, beautiful spot in Athens
Beautiful setting and Sophia definitely knows what she is talking about when it comes to wine. She had an extensive collection and helped us pick out a perfect wine to enjoy later on our vacation. Great date night in Athens!
Sophia was a delightful & knowledgeable host- great presentation & descriptors with each wine tasting…plus a basic charcuterie with the wine tasting,,,
Great experience. Sofya drives us around all Greece through the wines with an excellent atention. Highly recomendable
I had a wonderful time at the Acropolis Private Wine Tasting @ Finewine store with my friends. We were a group of six and our host was Sophia, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. She showed us a great map of Greece and explained the history and characteristics of the wine regions and the cheeses that we paired with the wines. We tried six different wines: three whites, one rosé, and two reds. They were all delicious and unique, and Sophia gave us some tips on how to taste and appreciate them. We learned a lot about Greek wines and culture, and had a lot of fun. The wine store was cozy and inviting, and the location was very convenient. The service was excellent and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend this wine tasting experience to anyone who loves wine and wants to discover more about Greece.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Wine was phenomenal, food was scrummy and more than enough for our evening meal. Service was 11/10, they were so informative and helpful. Couldn't do enough for us, or any of the other guests. Would rate highest amongst all of my experiences in Athens, and will be doing this again.
What an incredible experience! The owner of the wine shop Sofia was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, she truly elevated the experience with her detailed explanations and her warm welcome. The 6 wines we tasted were all tailored to our tastes which definitely made this special & the food was tasty & fresh. We truly recommend this wine tasting, you will not be disappointed!
Lovely local gem! We were looking for wine to take back to our Airbnb. The woman working in the shop listened to what we liked and let us sample a variety prior to helping purchase a couple bottles.
Wonderful little shop in a very cute neighborhood. The staff was very knowledgeable and informative during our tasting of wines from throughout Greece. Highly recommend.
My friends and I really enjoyed the wine tasting. We tried very good wines selected for our taste. Sofia was kind enough to change the selection to our preferences. Couldn't be better!
Sofia was an amazing host. We returned for the wine tasting after purchasing some bottles earlier the same day. She was very helpful with the wine recommendations and her choices were excellent. Great location just under acropolis and many restaurants in the area. Store is located in a less busy street that helps you enjoy the nice atmosphere.
Lovely wines and charcuterie board with greek products. You are not going to be disappointed with this wine selection. Customised wine tasting experience to my needs.
Sofia presented us with an excellent array of wines from throughout Greece. She gave a fascinating preview of what to expect and asked us for our thoughts. Fine Wine is located on a beautiful little street in Plaka under the shade of a tree, the breeze and atmosphere was awesome. She even serves wonderful treats, a cheeseboard with salami and tomatoes, which are also from around Greece. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Athens!
A magical experience. My husband and I are still talking about it. We were fashionably late, got caught up enjoying a conversation with a local, and lost track of time. We were still greeted with love. We tasted several wines - whites, reds, and a dessert. We were able to customize how many of what we would like, as well as the order we wished to try them. Our host was sweet and informative, and we loved the story that came with each taste. We got to see a map of each place the grapes are grown and harvested, she answered all of our questions about the wines too. The charcuterie board was delicious and went well with the wines. 10/10 experience! We look forward to one day returning in 2024 or 2025.
My friends and I really enjoyed the wine tasting. The owner of the shop helped us understand where the wines came from and hand picked each based on our age. She was very nice and accommodating to us , we really loved her. We also loved the Crudité board and the view of the beautiful little alleyway we got to sit in. I would definitely recommend and would come back again
Fantastic wine tasting experience! Very knowledgeable and wonderful selection of Greek wines paired with lovely charcuterie plate. Beautiful and romantic atmosphere
Definitely a must if you’re in Athens. The wine and food that is paired is stunning. Niki was such a good host, so passionate and knowledgable about the wine. Lovely location as well!
Wine and food were both amazing - very relaxing and lovely setting. Would definitely recommend for small groups and will be coming back
First… Greek wine is fantastic! We had a great time and learned about the different regions they grow wine. We enjoyed white to red and a dessert wine. Nine wines, we asked for an extra dessert wine. The charcuterie board was great with all the wines. Very friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend this tour!!
Best wine tasting ever. Location was awesome, wine was awesome, snacks were awesome and staff was awesome!! Wonderful! Go here and you will not regret it.
Great range of 8 wines to taste, all Greek, which are accompanied by deli items (olives, ham, cheese etc) from across Greece. The host does a fantastic job of talking you through everything and explaining the origin and tastes. You’re placed on individual tables, so this is an intimate experience (perfect for couples) rather than a large group tasting with strangers. It’s also on a quiet street with beautiful lighting which makes for a tranquil experience. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful experience! The outdoor seating was in a quiet side street with a great breeze. The wines and the food were so good! The pacing was great and Sofia was super knowledgeable as well as very friendly and welcoming. We had a great time and highly recommend it! Bought some delicious wines to take home with us.
We spent a great evening tasting a variety of very good Greek wines! The place is cozy and the snacks are delicious! Wine selection was really our “cup of wine” and host was superfriendly and well explained the origin of wines and grapes! We loved it! And we went back the next night to just enjoy great wine and relax! Highly recommend!
This was one of my favorite things we did in Athens. The selection of wines was fantastic and they were so nice to accommodate us with a sleeping toddler in tow. This was possibly the most relaxed I was the entire trip. The wines were a great mix of affordable and luxury (we purchased 3 bottles). The tasting takes place in a beautiful quiet stretch of Plaka looking down a gorgeous street. Would highly recommend!
If you are a wine lover you must try this tasting! A very nice wine shop in a nice area of Athens. Thanks to Sofia for making the tasting special, delicious wines accompanied by typical products and very detailed explanations. We had to stay a couple of hours we stayed twice as long. An experience not to be missed!
Here you have to go! Absolutely fantastic wines and an incredibly professional service that knows a lot about wine. Whether you go by and take a glass or wine tasting... we did both and it's one of the most wonderful things we've been doing ❤️
Belle expérience et très connaisseur de leurs vins. La personne qui nous a servi était très sympathique et ça été agréable, merci!
Het was een geweldige ervaring! Bij aankomst gezegd dat ik geen rode wijn drinker ben. Heeft de vrouw de proeverij aangepast naar 1 rode wijn ipv 2. Bij elke wijn een uitgebreide uitleg gekregen en werd er op een kaart aangewezen vanwaar de wijn afkomstig is. Het was fantastisch en wij komen zeker terug!
