Where are the best wines in Greece at... 🍷

Greece is famous for many things, but I’m always a bit surprised when fine wine is rarely one of them.

You don’t have to be a wine expert to appreciate a good glass of rosé, do you?

From the volcanic Assyrtiko to the sap-infused Retsina and the velvety Vinsanto, Greece's vineyards are brimming with unique profiles.

My travel philosophy? The more you know, the more you appreciate. So, why not keep an eye out for these distinctive wines, crafted from a 6,000-year-old viticulture tradition dating back to earlier than 3,000 BC?

P.S. I promise no quiz on ancient wine history at the end—unless you want one! 🍷

Here’s what we’ll get into today:

• A Beginners Guide to Greek Wine.

• Wines that Best Represent Greece’s Top Wine Regions.

• A Wine Tasting Experience in One of Athens Most Neighborhood-ly Neighborhoods.

A Beginners Guide to Greek Wine

Greek FETA might soon not be the only Greek product you find in supermarkets around the world.
