Description
From a young age, I loved this city and as a young man, I was always wandering around and exploring. I really like to host people and I'll be glad to share with you the Greek hospitality. Also, I studied Oenology and I was always excited because wine to me is connecting people and it's a bond between humans and nature as well. After this experience, you will know from inside the culture of this city. Moreover, you'll learn all the basic info for Greek wine as well how to do a wine tasting and a food-pairing like a pro!

Great Greek wine experience
The meet up point was well described and easy to find! We were lucky enough that it was just us (2) on the tour but I feel like Spyros would have made any group size feel personal. It was extremely hot out, but we stopped for some iced coffee and he made sure we were in the air conditioning for the tasting portion of the tour. We walked around (while Spyros shared information about Athens and the neighborhoods we walked through) for a little over an hour and then went to the wine spot. Although we have done a few tastings before, this was more in depth and we learned a lot too! The place was really niche with turntables and great music, not somewhere you would typically go as a tourist, more like a local spot. We were in Athens for another day and he gave us plenty of recommendations for food and drink for the rest of our stay.

Great way to see all sides of life in Greece
Great walking tour! We visited ancient yet less heard of ruins, we visited more modern parts of the city, learned about local history and more recent developments and ended with a wine stop and lesson that was excellent and a perfect way to end our visit. Spyros was knowledgeable and full of stories and had a passion for his city - highly recommended

Walking in an amazing city and then tasting some lovely wines; what could be better!
Spyros, our guide for the day is personable, professional, and knowledgeable. After a walk about some of Athen's most well-known neighborhoods, he took us to his favorite wine tasting bar and ordered us some food and several wines for a tasting/pairing party! In addition to sharing his knowledge of wines, he taught us how best to test the viability of the wine and identify both the flavors and the taste of the wine and try out what we felt paired well with each. He also gave us some recommendations - for food, wine, venues - both while we were with him and afterwords via WhatsApp and his website. We did go to what he called one of his favorite places to sip wine (or coffee if you prefer) away from the crowds yet still able to look up at the Acropolis. As he said it was like a little oasis and so calming. Highly recommend this tour and Spyros. Many thanks.
