Excellent! - Nice venue and nice guide. I’ve been to a number of wine tastings, and this is the one where I actually learned the most. Their graphic design skills (for the presentation about the different wines) could definitely use an upgrade, but it’s a tiny thing. Great cheeses to go with the wine as well.

Nice Wine Tasting - Very Informative - My wife and I booked this at the last minute. There were 7 of us in the session. We tasted 3 whites and 2 reds (all Greek Wines) with each having a cheese served with the glass. The two ladies who did the tasting were very informative about each wine, its origin and its characteristics. We both enjoyed the session and you can purchase any of the wines at the end. We purchased a couple of bottles for the romm later on. Overall an excellent experience.

Perfect introduction to Greek wines - We love wine and are fairly knowledgable, but we didn't know much about Greek wines. This was our first trip to Greece and, since we'd be drinking wine everyday, we decided to take this wine tasting/class the day we arrived. We learned a lot about the different native varietals and which regions of Greece were famous for each and why. Very informative and we throughly enjoyed it. They also walk you through the basics of wine tasting if you're a novice.

We added more depth to our Greek holiday by engaging in this activity. - My husband, daughter, who is 24 years old, and myself spent time learning about the various wines made locally and how to assess them. It was a fun activity to do on our holiday. Kalispera was a wonderful teacher as she showed us how to assess the various attributes of any wine and she specifically taught us how these wines related to the Greek culture and mythology.
