Katarina was more than a sommelier, by the end of the night she became a friend. Amazing wine and even better company. This place gives you the deep history of the wine and takes you through a tasting adventure. If I could give her 100 stars, I would. Definitely book!

Olina our sommelier was amazing at explaining how to recognise top quality wine, and how to recognise different tastes, bodies and finish. She was knowledgeable about all the different types of Greek wine, their regions and how the wine is grown. Great value for money, perfect for novices or those who have never recognised the diversity of Greek wines. Highly recommend!!

Great wine. However, the service was not the best and the environment made us feel uncomfortable. I feel like the experience was rushed since they had another group. We didn’t even get to revisit any of the wine.
