Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, with indigenous grape varieties that exist nowhere else. From the volcanic vineyards of Santorini to the rolling hills of Nemea and the sun-drenched slopes of Attica, Greek wine tells a story of terroir, tradition and quiet excellence.
A private wine and gastronomy tour with Exclusive Driver connects you to this world in the most comfortable and intimate way possible. No tour buses. No crowded tasting rooms. Simply a curated journey through the vineyards and kitchens that define Greek gastronomy.
Nemea & the Peloponnese
The Nemea wine region, approximately ninety minutes from Athens, is the heartland of Agiorgitiko, Greece’s most celebrated red grape. A private tour of the region includes visits to two or three carefully selected wineries, each offering a different perspective on the varietal and the land.
Between tastings, the Peloponnese countryside reveals itself: olive groves, Byzantine churches, and villages where the pace of life has scarcely changed in decades. Lunch at a family-run estate or local taverna provides an introduction to the region’s culinary traditions.
Santorini Wine Experience
Santorini produces some of the most distinctive wines in the Mediterranean. The volcanic soil, the unique basket-trained vines and the indigenous Assyrtiko grape create wines of extraordinary mineral character. A private wine tour of Santorini visits the island’s finest estates, from historic cellars to modern wineries with caldera views.
The Santorini wine experience is available as a standalone tour or as part of a broader Santorini private day tour.
Attica & the Athens Countryside
For those who prefer not to venture far from Athens, the Attica region offers a surprisingly rich wine landscape. Several acclaimed estates operate within an hour of the city centre, producing varietals including Savatiano, Malagousia and Assyrtiko.
An Attica wine tour can be combined with a visit to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion or a leisurely drive along the Athenian Riviera, creating a half-day experience that balances viticulture with coastal beauty.
