A countryside wine escape with a mythic coastal finale.

Description

Escape the city and venture into the hidden heart of southern Attica, where rolling vineyards meet the timeless glow of the Aegean. The Attica Saronic Wine Experience is a harmonious blend of wine tasting, local gastronomy, and myth-infused landscapes — crafted for those who seek connection with Greece’s soul beyond the expected.

Begin your journey surrounded by nature, walking through vines cultivated under the Attican sun and shaped by sea breeze and stony soil. There, you'll be welcomed into a boutique winery for a guided tasting of native varietals like Savatiano, Agiorgitiko, and Malagousia — paired with hand-prepared delicacies that reflect the region’s authentic culinary rhythm: traditional pies, artisan cheeses, and curated cold cuts.

As the flavors linger, the experience flows toward the coast. The day concludes at the majestic Cape Sounio, where you'll visit the legendary Temple of Poseidon, standing proudly above the sea. Bathed in golden light, this iconic site offers breathtaking views of the Aegean and a profound sense of timelessness — the perfect finale to a day rooted in Greek land, wine, and myth.

This is not just a tasting — it’s a curated memory of Attica’s vineyards, flavors, and ancient spirit.

A large vessel used to mix wine with water during symposia — the heart of ancient wine culture.

Vidiano is Crete’s rising white star — once nearly extinct, now hailed as Greece’s next great white grape.

Malagousia was nearly lost — until a winemaker’s instinct brought this aromatic gem back to life.

Assyrtiko is one of the few white grapes that can age gracefully for decades.

Xinomavro is often called the “Barolo of Greece” — bold, complex, and built to age.

In Greek, “moscho” means fragrant, and it lives up to Moschofilero's name.

Agiorgitiko is known as the “Blood of Hercules” in myth.

Savvatiano is Greece’s most planted grape — and it thrives in the heat where other grapes fade.
