WINE ROOTS OF GREECE

Wine is just as much a part of Greek culture as the temples of ancient Greece.
But visiting vineyards and going wine-tasting in Greece is about much more than myths and history. It’s one of the best ways to really explore Greece and meet the people who have dedicated their lives to making Greek wines to the highest European standards, with boutique, family-owned wineries that have incorporated modern viniculture techniques to their age-old traditions.
As wine-making has advanced in Greece, wine roads have sprung up all around the country, dotted with vineyards that offer winery tours and wine-tasting. If you find yourself in Crete or Santorini, or in the Peloponnese, Macedonia or Central Greece, you’re in for a treat. And you’ll find organised wine routes in Attica, Thrace, Epirus as well as on Aegean and Ionian Islands. In other words, everywhere in Greece.
