Wine Tasting with Eleni

Is Assyrtiko grown only in Santorini?
Does Kydonitsa smell of quince?
Is Xinomavro like Nebbiolo? Does Retsina taste as in the ’70s?

In the heart of Athens dive into the rich Greek wine tradition tasting wines from all over Greece. Learn the history behind some of the most ancient grape varieties of the world and discover the Greek terroir. I ‘m a wine journalist working for 15 years, traveling all over the world and Wine with Eleni is a very personal project. I taste hundreds of wines every year and I choose the most amazing, interesting, intriguing ones, presenting them to my guests in the Wine bar or the wine tastings. ‘Wine with Eleni’ is the only place you can taste the rare Mount Athos wines, produced by the monks of the monasteries.
