As a solo traveler visiting Athens, I was looking for unique experiences to complement my trip, and this was the perfect way to begin my journey. What made the evening especially memorable was that I was the only guest for the session, which transformed the experience into what felt like a private masterclass led by my own personal gin expert. From the very beginning, it was clear that this was much more than a typical tasting. My host guided me through the fascinating history and evolution of gin, blending education, storytelling, and tasting into an engaging and immersive experience. Her passion, knowledge, and professionalism were evident throughout the evening, and she made every moment both informative and enjoyable. Each gin was thoughtfully paired with carefully selected cheeses, fruits, and complementary flavors that enhanced the tasting experience. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail and the way each pairing was explained, helping me better understand the unique characteristics and botanicals behind each spirit. The experience was further elevated by a well-prepared PowerPoint presentation that brought the history, production methods, and tasting notes to life in an accessible and engaging way. What I expected to be a simple tasting quickly became one of the most memorable experiences of my time in Athens. The level of personalization, expertise, and hospitality far exceeded my expectations. I left not only with a greater appreciation for gin but also with a deeper understanding of its history and craftsmanship. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough for anyone visiting Athens, whether you are a gin enthusiast or simply looking for something unique and memorable. It was educational, engaging, and exceptionally well organized. I would absolutely book again, and I am already looking forward to returning to experience the wine tasting offering as well. Thank you for such a wonderful evening and for creating one of the highlights of my trip to Greece!

Anastasia was an amazing host! We had a great time at our gin tasting. Would recommend for any travelers to the area for a good night with fascinating history and good drinks.
Great experience! Great host very knowledgeable about the gin and friendly. Gave us great recommendations!
The gin selection was impressive, covering a range of Greek producers. You come away with a genuine appreciation for just how special Greek gin is. Artemis was knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about what she does, which really made the whole experience come alive.
Very insightful, and educational. You will drink a lot of gin. I really liked Tonya, very passionate person.
Had a fun time tasting three different gins and how to change them with what you added to them. Paired with cheeses as well.
Tonya is very knowledgeable and fun to be around and we really had a great time learning about gin and how to use it.very much i recommend
Tonia was the best. We had a wonderful experience, it was really interesting and loved the differents wines we tested. Especially the white wine from Santorini. Amazing pairing with cheeses !
Wonderful experience. Our host was funny and informative. The wine and food pairings were outstanding. Although we are more red wine drinkers, this tasting made us into Greek white wine lovers. Phenomenal views of the acropolis and of Athens overall. Beautiful restaurant setting and attentive staff. Highly recommend this while in Athens.
It was a wonderful experience. Learned a lot about gin and Greek gin. There was plenty of drinks involved! Definitely recommend!
Exceptional experience. Our host was very knowledgeable, attentive and made for a fun evening. A nice amount of gin and great pairings with snacks (cheeses and fruit) brought out different flavors. Learned some new things about gin and and it's origins. Highly recommend the experience. I would do it again
Great way to spend a couple hours after dinner or before. Tasted a few gins I probably would not have tried, learned a few things and enjoyed every minute
This was so fun! Getting to try the different gins on their own and with garnish was fantastic! Our host was very knowledgeable and fun! Would definitely recommend and do it again!
We thoroughly enjoyed learning about and tasting new gins. We were part of only a small group which made it easy to ask questions, offer our opinions of the gins, and just have a really good time. Thank you so much for making the last night of our vacation as fun and enjoyable as the previous 2 weeks. It was a delightful ending to a special vacation.
This was a wonderful experience for our Athens trip. Luiza was friendly and knowledgeable about the gins and made it a great time.
Great experience, trying so Greek and med gins. Loved the cheese pairing as well! Thank you really enjoyed! Maybe recommend some music in the background though as was a little awkward silence!
This gin tasting is a must do in Athens! Can not give this experience a higher rating and was my favorite part of the trip so far. Thank you to to the wonderful ladies who made the night incredible.
Detailed & informative. Everything gin you always wanted to know, but with a Greek slant. One of the best tours we’ve taken.
Extremely informative and the tastings were amazing, well worth the experience. I highly recommend this tour.
The gin tasting was a great experience.. and the mixologist was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed it immensely.
Katerina was absolutely amazing. So accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
This tasting experience was perfect. You learn about and taste three different gins (with very generous pours). Would highly recommend.
My mother and I were in Athens for a couple of days, we decided to do a gin tasting we found through Airbnb Experience, even though we both aren’t gin drinkers. Overall, we had an amazing night!! The host was extremly delightful and informative. I would definitely recommend and take his tastings again.
We loved our experience. We discovered 3 new gin. I have already visited several distilleries and I preferred this tasting to all my distillery visits. We learn things but it’s not too heavy. The food is good and it goes very well with gin.
