About this experience
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!
