    The whole experience was amazing from start to finish! George our sommelier was fantastic, so knowledgeable and attentive. He made the whole tasting fun and we gained a lot of knowledge. The view was also stunning of the Acropolis! 1000% would recommend. Emily and Danny xx

    Amazing experience! First, the view was incredible! Then our sommelier, George, was so knowledgeable, funny, and just made the whole experience one to remember. We did this as a birthday celebration and I would recommend it to anyone coming to Athens from out of town. We learned so much about the varieties of the Greek grapes and were able to take that information with us to other restaurants and adventures throughout our trip. (Also, stay for dinner afterwards if you can as the food was delicious!)

    My girlfriend and I did the wine-tasting under the Acropolis and the views were phenomenal! Despite there being problems with our reservation booking, George still accommodated us and we had a great time tasting the delicious wines. We got to try 3 white wines and 3 red wines, with the red wines being complimentary since there were not many additional customers that night (my girlfriend and I went during the tourism off-season of January). George was incredibly informed about the wines and we had a wonderful experience and time!
