Where to taste wine
Wine tasting works best at a port that sits close to a real wine region, with named wineries and a road that links them. A day ashore is short, so the strongest ports keep the trip to the vineyards simple and let you taste more than one producer.
About wine tasting
Wine tasting by cruise port means a day ashore spent at vineyards and wineries rather than in town. The strongest options sit close to a real wine region with named producers and a road that links them. Wine is poured at a farm, a gallery bar or a winery stop, and the trip out is the main part of the day.
Most of these tastings run as tours, since wineries are rarely within walking distance of the pier. Plan for the road: in Athens the Nemea vineyards are a long drive, while on Rhodes the winery stop is part of a longer day out. The Mykonian Farm tasting is a shorter visit, about three hours, held by day or in the evening.
- About 120 minutes Pier to Nemea wine roads, Athens
- Three hours Mykonian Farm wine tasting
- Four wines Single-varietal Greek wines at Mykonian Farm
