Wine is an intrinsic part of Greek culture. With a rich history of winemaking stretching back to the dawn of the Bronze Age, Greece is the oldest winemaking region in Europe and one of the oldest in the world. The rugged Greek landscape and long, sunny days are perfect for growing some of the finest grape varieties worldwide, producing exquisite red, white and rose wines. Yet modern Greek wine is only just beginning to get the attention it deserves.
This activity invites you on an inspiring journey through some of the best Greek wine varieties available today. This exclusive Rhodes wine tasting tour is led by an experienced sommelier with an infectious passion for Greek wine. After learning how to taste wine properly, you’ll be introduced to five different varieties of Greek wine. In Greece, wine is only part of the equation, however. The way locals drink wine is equally important to our culture. Traditionally, they love to drink wine slowly, in good company, and accompanied by a delicious selection of meze. So your Rhodes wine tasting experience takes place in a restaurant in Rhodes, where the chef prepares dishes designed to enhance the flavour of each wine you try.
