Curated Wine Tastings
Authentic, elegant and designed for connection

There is no clear evidence to show exactly when the cultivation of the vine began in Greece. Numerous sources indicate that wine production and consumption began around the third millennium BC, but there are speculations that the starting point could have been a lot earlier.

Across Greece, from Dikili Tash -a Neolithic settlement near modern-day Kavala in the north – to Vathypetro in Minoan Crete, from island vineyards to mainland slopes, archaeological sites reveal 6,000 years of unbroken winemaking tradition. What the ancients began—and what survived as humble retsina in village tavernas—is now being gloriously reimagined.

Discover indigenous grapes like: Assyrtiko’s volcanic minerality, Xinomavro’s noble structure, and rare varietals pulled back from the brink. Modern winemakers are reviving ancient techniques—amphorae aging, skin contact, sun-dried traditions—while coaxing extraordinary expressions from Greece’s diverse terroirs.

From Neolithic roots to contemporary revival, each glass connects you to symposia, philosophers, and the unbroken thread of Hellenic viticulture. Bold, unexpected, and deeply soulful—these wines prove that Greece’s greatest vintages aren’t in the past. This isn’t just a wine tasting. It’s history you can drink. It’s archaeology in a glass.

Discoveries of the Greek Islands is a curated voyage through the wines of Greece’s most evocative island terroirs. This tasting invites you to drift from shore to shore, following indigenous grapes as they shape-shift across volcanic ash, sun-warmed coastal slopes, and cool mountain highlands.
Each bottle has been selected not only for its excellence, but for the clarity with which it speaks of its origin—the salt air, the ancient stone, the particular light that falls across each island’s vines. Together, they form a gentle progression of styles that reveals the purity, structure, and singular voice of Greek island viticulture.
This is an experience for those drawn to wines that are both refined and rooted—an elegant, accessible entry into a world where landscape and grape are inseparable.
