Wine tasting
The best places for wine tasting are Santorini, Mykonos, Nassau, Athens and Rhodes, with more at Thessaloniki and Kusadasi. Santorini's wines come from volcanic soil, and a guided wine road visits three wineries. In Mykonos, a sommelier pours four single-varietal Greek wines at Mykonian Farm in a three-hour tasting. In Kusadasi, guided wine tastings are held in Şirince, often paired with a visit to Ephesus.
Where it's best
Santorini's wines come from volcanic soil, with Assyrtiko, Athiri and the sweet Vinsanto, and a guided wine road visits three wineries. Venetsanos, cut into the cliff above Athinios, pours four wines after a cellar tour.
At Mykonian Farm, a sommelier leads a three-hour tasting of four single-varietal Greek wines at a wine corner on the farm, served with snacks made from Greek products. Sessions run in the daytime or the evening.
In Nassau, wine tasting centers on Graycliff, with a winemaker-for-a-day session or a wine lunch.
Wine days from Athens go to the Nemea wine roads for winery tours and tastings, often paired with ancient Nemea.
Wine tasting on Rhodes comes paired with a trip to Butterfly Valley.
Wine tasting around Thessaloniki is paired with the Dion ruins below Mount Olympus, or centers on the Gerovasileiou winery.
Guided wine tastings are held in Şirince. They are often paired with a visit to the ancient city of Ephesus.
