“It was very informative and we tried around 7 different wines and learned about the grape varietals and which regions they grew in. beautiful view of the acropolis in an intimate setting (one other couple was supposed to join and never did so it was a private experience for us). the cheese, bread, and olive oil was delicious I just wish maybe we had one more element like olives. Giorgios was a great guide, kind, attentive, and knowledgeable!”
