WINE EXPERIENCES IN GREECE

We had such a lovely wine tour with Andriana through the Nemea wine region! It was a perfect day trip – we were picked up in the morning, then driven around to three wineries where we had tours of the wineries and tastings. In addition to having a delightful personality, Andriana has extensive knowledge of the region and wine making, and also has relationships with interesting wineries you would not find by touring yourself. We recommend The Wine Connoisseurs to anyone who would like a well-planned and high quality wine tasting experience!

This was a highlight of our trip. We did the Athens Wine Odyssey and just love it. We were picked up at our hotel in a nice luxury van with A/C and waters ready to go. Our first winery was amazing with a wine museum that had a lot of history that Adriana explained to us. She really knows all the history about Greek wine making and it was all very interesting. The wine was excellent. We then went to another winery again seeing the beautiful countryside and met with a very lovely winery owner that showed us around her winery and then tasted their wines which were amazing. We ended up buying wine at both places. We then went to a local Greek restaurant and had an excellent lunch and were able to enjoy more of the wines. I highly recommend this and give it 2 thumbs up!!

The wine tasting event was very well organized and we have learned a lot about the taste, smell and colour of the different sorts of wine. The wine-guide was well informed and gave us information in an interesting and entertaining way. Semelis wineyard was perfectly located and we could further enjoy the wine with a nice view until the sea. Ms. Foi and her team were very welcome and friendly. In the end we received nice gifts, a broschure with information regarding the wines we tried and nice pictures to remember those moments!

All in all: Excellent experience.

An enjoyable and excellent day out! Andriana and her team put together a great programme which took a full day. Pick up from our accommodation, followed by a drive through Patras to Achaia Clauss winery. A passionately presented tour of the Museum (a history of Greek wine making in itself) and the Imperial Cellar, before a highly knowledgeable and friendly wine tasting. A progressive range of white, rose, red and sweet wines, all enjoyable, ‘served’ with detailed information and background.
On to the completely different Mega Spileo (and related labels) winery at Aigio. We were walked through a contrasting modern and high volume wine and ouzo production facility, before being invited into the tasting room to sample many of the premium Mega Spileo wines. Again, a deeply informative and comprehensive presentation of their extensive range of wines, enjoyed in an interactive and fun extended discussion with the wine maker himself!
All followed by a rather late lunch by the sea on the Gulf of Corinth. We would recommend Wine Connoisseurs and this tour to anyone with an interest in – or who simply enjoys – good wines.
