Noble Greeks Acropolis Wine Tasting with Private Sommelier





Description
Our signature tasting; a fun introduction to the secrets of Greek wine. We start by familiarising ourselves with the basic principles of tasting wine. The unique characteristics of each of the main wine regions are discussed to help you to understand how local terroir contributes to the particular flavor of each wine tasted. As we do this, we sample five of Greece’s flagship wines, each from a different region, three white and two red. While discussing the many possible food pairings, we offer local artisanal cheeses to enhance our experience of the wine.

We loved this evening with Marika; she was able to share her passion for Greek wines with us. We also really enjoyed our conversations about the different regions of Greece. The tasting was accompanied by a beautiful cheese platter.
Thank you for your lovely words! It was a pleasure getting to know you!
We had a wonderful evening with somellier Marika, in her gorgeous home overlooking the Acropolis. She provided some meze while we tasted some Greek wines from local varieties all over the country. Afterwards, we were invited out onto her terrace, looking out at the beautiful lights of the Acropolis. It was a perfect evening, creating wonderful memories.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you!
Marika offers a fantastic wine tasting experience in an unbeatable location. As a sommelier with extensive knowledge of Greek wine, she was an amazing host. We had an opportunity to taste and learn about five different types of wine, both red and white. The tastings were plentiful, and the cheese, fruit and nuts chosen to accompanying them were thoughtfully selected and delicious. We ended the evening talking and drinking more wine on Marika's balcony, overlooking the Acropolis. I've done many wine tastings in my travels, and Marika's Noble Greeks experience was one of the best. I recommend it to anyone who's traveling through Athens and enjoys wine.
Thank you for such a complementary review! It was a pleasure having you all here for such a lovely evening!
Marika is an amazing host with a gift for sharing her deep knowledge about Greek wine. We tasted and discussed five distinct and delicious varieties, ending our evening in conversation on Marika’s balcony overlooking the Acropolis. I look forward to another Noble Greeks experience with friends!
Thank you for such a complementary review Jen! It was a pleasure having you all here for such a lovely evening!
What a great evening, the perfect combination of learning, savouring and enjoying ourselves! An excellent selection of Greek wine varietals expertly explained by our host sommelier Marica, and paired with delicious local cheeses and fruits. We learned a lot and met some great people at what was a truly social event, most of us stayed on well past the official close of the tasting itself and enjoyed another glass of wine on the terrace looking up to the Acropolis. It also made a wonderful start to our whole evening before going on to an Athens style late dinner nearby in Koukaki :)
Indeed a lovely evening with lovely people, thank you & hope to see you again!
We enjoyed a wine tasting with our host who was very knowledgeable about Greek wines. We learned about different regions of Greece and how the grapes are grown, their growing conditions and uniqueness of characteristics. It was an informative evening at a great location with a beautiful balcony viewing the acropolis at night.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and I hope to see you again soon!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Noble Greeks Winetasting! We’re intermediate and enthusiastic wine lovers, who’ve taken winery tours in the U.S. — in Napa, Sonoma, the CA Sierra foothills, and many places around VA (our home state), but we didn’t know what to expect this time around. We were truly delighted! Mareka is a knowledgeable and entertaining sommelier, who introduced us to the major varietals of Greece. We learned about their gastronomic significance, the regions of Greece where these varietals grow, and a bit about the history of winemaking in this beautiful country. All this in a gorgeous location! The view of The Temple of Nike on the Acropolis was worth the experience alone. We also really enjoyed the company of the other couple we met that evening. A truly worthwhile evening and experience!
Thank you for your lovely review and such interesting company. I hope to see you on your next trip again!
Absolutely lovely evening. Marika was a lovely host and extremely knowledgeable about wine. We learned a lot about Greece s wine regions and the lesser known varieties. I would highly recommend
Thank you for your positive review Diane. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip!
Marica’s tasting takes you on the journey of the five “noble” Greek wines. An experienced sommelier, she shares her knowledge with enthusiasm to provide a wholistic understanding of the key grape varieties which are indigenous to the country. You will learn about their history, the regions they originate from and their individual flavour profiles. Accompanying the wines is a spread of locally produced snacks, each thoughtfully selected to pair with the wines and accentuate their essence. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, as questions and open conversation are encouraged throughout. Whatever your experience level in tastings, you are sure to leave with newfound knowledge and interesting takeaways. The tasting takes place in a stunning Athenian penthouse, with unobstructed views of the Parthenon, immersing you in the authentic and traditional Greek landscape and culture.
Thank you for such a complementary review Jacqueline! It was a pleasure having you and your friends with us!
Highly recommended this wine tasting experience for anyone seeking refined and high-quality wine selections! The warm and cozy atmosphere with the Acropolis view was a plus - but now a new standard 💙
Thank you for your lovely words. It was a pleasure having you with us!
