We explore 2 or 3 handpicked, atmospheric wine bars nestled in the heart of Plaka (Athens’ charming old town) where tradition meets modern flair. These hidden gems offer a carefully curated selection of Greek wines, often sourced from small local producers, served in settings that blend history, character, and authentic Athenian hospitality.

Anna, a graduate student of viticulture, gave us a lovely wine tour in Athens and was deeply knowledgeable about wine growing and wine making. We toured three bars that provided wine pairings with local Greek wine. It was a wonderful first tour in Athens that helped us identify our favorite wines for the rest of our visit. We visited Santorini, Bar and Corfu afterwards and were able to purchase the Assyrtiko, Aidani and other wines we had tasted on this tour. Make this tour one of your first in Greece and you won't be disappointed. It was a fabulous introduction to Greek wines.
We visited as a couple, and the tasting was very nice and relaxing. We achieved our goal of getting to know different Greek grape varieties. Our guides were friendly, and we had engaging conversations about wine. I would also like to highlight the excellent cheeses that were served alongside the wine.
This tour is a great way to learn about Greek wines. We knew absolutely nothing about these wines so we decided on this tour. Our guy was a very pleasant and professional young man named Chris. He guided the four of us to three venues we would never have found. The we sampled to each of roses, whites and red wines. He was very careful to make sure we enjoyed our experiences and was a joy to be around. I highly recommend this tour.
George did a fine job of walking us to 3 different places for wine tastings. He was knowledgeable about the 6 Greek wines as were the hosts of each place. Would recommend this tour!
I had a tour with Anastasia who was very informative about wines in Greece in addition she was very informative about the culture of Greece. The experience was very enjoyable and I would highly recommend any person who loves wine to gives this a go. The 3 venues were also fantastic venues which you’d normally miss if just travelling through Athens. Highly recommend to any travellers! 5 stars!
I went with my best friend to celebrate my graduation and we had an incredible time, George was a great guide through it all and all of the Wine Bars were expectional! Would highly recommended!
Our guide Camille was lovely and she showed us some extra cultural spots near our locations because we had some extra time between stops. I would have liked a little more information from the sommeliers and servers about history and culture related to Greek wines.
It ended up being just me and my husband for this tour and we had such a great time. George was our guide and he took us to several very cool, small wine bars—we were fed sooo much food. We learned a lot about greek wine and we really enjoyed it.
If you get a chance to take this walking tour, it was a very pleasant walking tour. Great wine and meats & cheese platters. George our guide was great. I would recommend this tour if you love wine.
We booked this wine tour for the day we arrived in Athens . When we met Chris we were surprised to find out this the tour would just be my best fiend and I . She greeted us with such pleasure and enthusiasm we instantly felt at ease. She took us to 3 very unique wine bars that I am confident we never would have found on our own . Each spot included a snack and a few wine tastings . Chris shared her knowledge about the history of the wine , the region and the unique cheeses and snacks . We left the tour feeling like we had made a new friend . Highly recommend and ask for Chris !
Chis was an amazing tour guide. Her knowledge on Athens, Greece, wine and cheese kept our full attention and inspired us to ask questions. Her kindness and sincere character made us comfortable and left us full of great wine, food and knowledge. This evening could not have been better, I’ve been on similar tours in other countries and this was by far my favorite.
My husband and I had a great wine tasting experience with our guide George. We were the only 2 people that signed up for the tour that day, and we appreciated the tour proceeding with only the 2 of us. George took us to 3 different wine bars. Each distinct in atmosphere and history. The first was at an underground basement with a sommelier attending serving us 2 different rosé wines with a generous accompaniment of cheeses, olives, and spreads. The wines were delicious. The second wine tasting was at a modern very classy wine bar that served us 2 great white wines with a side of cheeses and olives. The 3rd wine bar was at a trendy modern wine bar that served us 2 reds with accompanying cheeses and crackers and other accompaniments. George throughout explained the area and history of each place and Athenian history. He has a fun sense of humor and is very knowledgeable about the area. He was kind and considerate. We truly enjoyed our tour with George. Thank you George!
We did not go to a winery. It was a walking tour of bars. Definitely not what we expected. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.
Our tour was amazing because of our tour guide! It was the perfect way to see the city. Our guide (Telis) was very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcomed. I highly recommend doing the tour on your visit to Athens.
George was a super fun guide and my friends and I had an amazing time! The wine pours are definitely just samples (3-4 sips as opposed to 4-5 oz) and not full glasses of wine but I still feel like this tour was worth it.
Chris did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable and personable throughout the entire tour. We would highly recommend Chris for anyone’s Athens wine tour.
Chris was an awesome tour guide! He gave us a personal experience that was tailored to our own personal needs! We had an amazing time.
Our guide, Elena, was a pure delight. My husband and I were lucky enough to have a private tour with her. She was articulate, informative and funny. In addition to tasting and learning about wine and the local Greek cheese, she shared information about Greek culture. The tastings were held at three different wine bars and the gentlemen who led the wine tastings were very informative. I highly recommend this tour.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Lots of fun stories to share. He gave good recommendations for the rest of our stay as well.
My wife and I had an absolutely lovely time on our small group wine tour. Our guide George was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wine bars that we visited. 3 stops was perfect and the wines were delightful. Highly recommend.
We were so shocked when we got to the start, and it was just us two and our guide, Vagelis! They provided a bottle of water and ponchos for the tour. We had an amazing time wine tasting and getting to know Vagelis. Definitely recommend!!
This wine tour was excellent!!! Our guide was personable and friendly. She had local knowledge and explained the different neighborhoods we ambled through. Our first stop was with Constantinos a level 3 advanced sommelier. He answered all our questions and explained how to taste wines. We made 3 stops and the wines were delicious. This tour is a great way to get a feel for Athens and drink delicious wines. It’s a win win!
Most memorable moments (apart from the consumption of the wine samples) was the conversation with our guide which provided a fascinating insight into their life and the city. There was also food aplenty! Probably because there were only the two of us and so the three sharing platters - one at each of the tasting venues - filled us up completely with cheese, meats and crackers. It was a great afternoon/evening :)
Had a excellent time going across Athens trying different rosés, whites, and reds at various wine bars. Also had great cheeses, meats, and paired foods. George and our various sommeliers and guides were all great.
Guide was very knowledgeable! Wine was delicious and guide was very informative. There was a variety of food to taste as well.
My mom, her friend, and I had the best time on the small walking wine tour. It was the first activity we did after arriving in Athens that morning. Even jet lagged we had a great time. The wines were delicious and the walk was very pleasant (even during a heatwave!). I particularly enjoyed our first stop where the sommelier gave detailed instructions on the process of wine tasting and what characteristics to look for and also history of the grapes. Our guide, Telis, was fun, personable, and provided suggestions for the rest of our stay. It was easy to tell he has a wealth of knowledge and was eager to share. If we had time, we would join their other activities.
Telis was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the different food and wines of the region along the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend his services. Great personality and demeanor. Kudos!
Fantastic walking & wine tour of Athens. It was a really fun low-key way to explore and learn about the different neighborhoods and wines. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and amiable. One of the highlights of our trip.
Wonderful wines and wonderful settings. All the hosts at each location were very knowledgeable about the wines and the cheese accompanying the wines. Our host, Xenia, was so personable and made the evening very enjoyable.
A great way to learn about local regional wines. Telis was charasmatic,knowledgeable and quite enjoyable to be around and speak to
An amazing experience! I never thought that greek wine had such a long history and such an amazing taste! Thank you, totally recommended!
It's remarkable how you can get to know a culture through taste and smell. A unique experience that everyone should try. Friendly and awesome team. Thank you.
Personalized tour very well adapted to our tastes and preferences. TELIS has been a caring and pleasant companionship guide sharing his knowledge about his country and his passion. Thank you ευχαριστώ, we highly recommend this guided tour, it is worth the bonus, great local wines and local products to taste!
We ended up at nice wine bars and the guide knew a lot about both the wine and the sights we encountered along the way
