Amazing wine experience that you can not miss. The views, the wine, the service, once in a lifetime experience. A must do advent - The manager, who was our host, was gracious, educational, classy, funny, and fun. The rooftop location was the perfect setting, and the views were incredible. You are poured all Greek wines, and don't let the four glasses fool you as we had way more than four tastings. Did I mention our host was generous with our tastings, too. You are served local cheeses, bread, and olive oil that all enhanced the wines. Don't be surprised if you meet some new friends at your tasting too as we did. It was the perfect experience for our first day in Greece. Oh, and stick around for dinner after your tasting. The food was as amazing as the wine, and every team member at the restaurant made us feel so welcome.

Great time! - Each of the four wines we tried were delicious. All featured just one Greek grape (no blends). The first was a sparking, dry white. The second was a still dry white with flavors of quince, pear, and pineapple (2nd fave). The third was a very floral rose (1st fave). And the fourth was a more floral white. They paired the wine with brioche bread served with olive oil and salt, cream cheese tarts, a smoked Greek cheese, and a really yummy, salty hard Greek cheese. The tasting portions were generous. Overall, a delicious evening. We ate at the restaurant afterwards which was really nice as well.

Experience Greek Wines with a Pro! - Green wines are amazing. This is a great experience to try a variety of Greek wines. The restaurant is near the Acropolis so the view as you’re eating and drinking is gorgeous. The Sommelier is very knowledgeable and does a great job to incorporate the group into his presentation. Worth booking!

Brilliant wine tasting experience - Stunning view, generous selection of wines. George, the restaurant manager, did an amazing job at contextualising each Greek grape variety in reference to Greek culture and history, as well as explaining tasting notes in a really accessible, unpretentious way. We’d recommend this experience to anybody visiting the city with an interest in Greek wines.

Great view. Fair wine tasting experience - The host was kind and they gave us 6 different kind of wines, which was appreciated. But we’re used to warmer explanations about how wine tasting: how to use every sense while tasting wine, identify the looks of young vs. aged wines, talk and share opinions with other guests, etc. This was a 1-hr long tasting mostly focused on explaining the Greek region where each wine is from. The wines were good in general and we felt that they were appropriate for different tastes. The place has a spectacular view of the Parthenon, specially as it gets dark and the ancient ruins get lit up. The view is about the best in the city and it can only be improved if you end up having dinner in the same restaurant but on the roof top, where the view of the Parthenon gets even better.
