Wine tasting with a view of the acropolis - The sommelier is very competent and explains everything correctly by making tapas and wine pairings. The view of the acropolis while enjoying excellent wine is worth the cost. The diversity of wines is worth the cost. I do it again without hesitation

Do it ! - Overall, the tasting is worth the money ! Plenty of wines to taste and no skimpy pours . The restaurant manager explained all the wines and didn’t rush us through the evening . If you get there early enough you can snag a table with a great view of the acropolis. Would do it again for sure .

Absolutely wonderful wine tasting - We through this wine tasting on the end of our trip as a way to stay out of the heat and it ended up being one of the best activities we did. We were the only couple, so it ended up being truly private. The manager/sommelier was extremely friendly and the staff were super attentive. The views of the acropolis were awesome, though they were at a sharp angle so if were more crowded, some of tables would not have had the view. The pours were HEAVY and we sampled 8 or 9 wines. We were both feeling it by the end. Definitely don’t drive after this tasting! We will definitely do this one again if we are ever back in Athens.

Great wine and lovely views - Fabulous evening activity. The view is amazing, the wines were great. In-depth information about greek wine making, grape varieties, and the cheese pairings were lovely.

Lovely Wine Tasting - One of the best tasting experiences we have had in a very long time. Generous pours and a knowledgeable host. We went downstairs for dinner after and the hospitality did not end with the tasting. Excellent service and food.

Fun with delicious wines - Beautiful setting to try about 8 different Greek wines. George was informative but kept getting pulled away from us, as he also manages the restaurant. We were happy with the different wines along with the bread and cheese plates. We felt it was a good value for the price.

Great fun with nice views - Great fun, beautiful views if you seat right next to the window (the wine tasting is in a room below the roof top, not on the rooftop itself) The Somelier was fun and polite. I for one (passionate about wine) thought that the teaching and description was a bit vague and didn't learn as much as I wanted. I think the overview of the different wines should be more methodical and follow a narrative or progression so it's not just tasting a bunch of different bottles. I also think that at the start, people should be given the chance to introduce themselves to the group so everyone gets relaxed and involved. The Somelier should pass each bottle around for us who want to read the info/detail. All in all grear fun! Recommended

Skip that one - An experience we could have easily skipped. The tasting was led by the restaurant manager/ sommelier who was apparently too busy to hang around and do a proper job. It started 20 min late though all parties showed up on time. He poured 7-8 wines in total. 2 trays with light snacks were served (bread and olive oil and cheeses), with the 2nd tray served after the wines it should have been paired with. each time, he would quickly pour the wine, recite a 30 second spill about it and leave for 30 min. we had expected more for 55 euro/ person. Save your money.
