Best wine and cheese pairing in Athens! - It’s a small place with an indescribable atmosphere. The host was truly wonderful, and made everyone feel included.
This wine tasting is for beginners and experts alike.

Excellent wine and cheese tasting! - Excellent! Foteini was extremely knowledgeable about wine and cheese pairings and wine tasting. She explained it all in great detail.
The wine and cheese pairings were wonderful. I knew nothing about Greek wines at the start and left with lots of knowledge and interest in them.
You get a cheat sheet to write down what you learn about each wine and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
