TESTIMONIALS
We wanted to see something outside the city and this luxury wine tour was just the ticket. The vineyards were top notch and tastings delicious. Leo was a great driver and fun to talk to. Adriena was very knowledgable and a great addition to the winemaker's information. Highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a wine tour with the most amazing guide, Andriana!
The tour was not only a fantastic wine experience, but also a great team bonding and group building activity. Andriana made sure to engage each member of the group and create a fun and interactive environment.
Her knowledge of wine and the vineyards we visited was impressive, and she made the tour both educational and entertaining.
One of the highlights for me was the entertaining game where we tested our knowledge with a quiz based on the details we had learned throughout the tour.
Additionally, the challenge of identifying a specific glass of wine among five that we had tasted was both exhilarating and rewarding.

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a unique wine tour.
I tasted a variety of wonderful wine tastings in the beautiful location of Kalavryta. Mrs. Andriana, our tour guide, conveyed her enthusiasm and impressed us with her knowledge.
It was an unforgettable experience and I thank The Wine Connoisseurs team for these memories ❤️

We decided to organize an excursion with our group and chose The wine connoisseurs with destination Kalavrita.
It turned out to be the best choice we could have made, it was an unforgettable experience.
Mrs. Andriana, our tour guide was excellent, with extensive knowledge and passion for the world of wine she imparted her energy and knowledge to us, giving a wonderful touch to our wine tour.
Everything they organized was great and gave us the opportunity to bond more with our colleagues. Especially when it's time for a unique tasting game at the magnificent Mega Cave Estate.
The choice of The wine connoisseurs for the wine tour was the best, I highly recommend it!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! ❤️

What an excellent wine tour experience in Kalavryta for team building! Highly recommended for corporate groups seeking a unique and enriching experience.
I recently had the pleasure of being part of a corporate team building event organized by “The Wine Connoisseurs”. The overall experience was very rewarding, leaving me with a greater interest in wine and a deeper bond with my colleagues.
The highlight of the tour was the scenic ride on the traditional Odontotos Rack Railway. It offered an ideal, serene backdrop for conversation and bonding among our team members. The picturesque views added an extra layer of magic to the experience, making it truly unforgettable.
Mega Spileo Estate proved to be the perfect setting for our event. Nestled amongst stunning surroundings, the stone buildings exuded an air of old world charm. They took us on a journey to the vineyards, learning about the winemaking process from grape to glass. The peak was surely the wine tasting, where we were offered a selection of excellent wines, each with its own unique flavor profile.
What really impressed me was the addition of a knowledge and tasting game, which added an interactive element to the experience. Not only did it test our knowledge of the wines, but it also encouraged lively discussion and friendly competition between team members.
The culinary aspect of the tour was equally impressive. The traditional tavern we visited served a range of delicious dishes with local ingredients. And of course accompanied by the perfect wine.
Undoubtedly, nothing would have been the same if we hadn't had with us the spirited and inspiring Mrs.Adriana and Katerina, whose knowledge and energy enhanced our experience. Through them we took a step closer to the world of wine and its magic, and they imparted to us the beautiful curiosity to seek even more about it!
Thank you from Tourix Team ♡

We decided to organize a corporate group meeting activity for our team and found The Wine Connoisseurs for a wine tour and an incredible wine experience. It was a perfect combination of team bonding and sheer enjoyment for us. The experience in Kalavryta with the Tourix team was simply amazing. We had such a good time it was like we never wanted it to end!
We will definitely do it again and highly recommend this experience to all groups who want a unique experience and taste exploration.
Thank you very much Ms. Andriana & Katerina for the unique experience!

Thanks to the amazingly efficient and friendly Katarina for organising our two-day trip to the vineyards of Nemea and Kalavrita. Adriana was an admirable host, introducing us to some wonderful wines. Other highlights were a visit to the site of ancient Nemea and an historic train trip up to the mountain village of Kalavrita, where we enjoyed a visit to the excellent museum and a coffee stop for loukoumades. Adriana could not have been a more enthusiastic companion throughout. Our two drivers were excellent and great fun. Everything was managed very professionally. A particular highlight was Mega Spelio for its wines, stunning location and engaging host. We would certainly do another trip with Wine Connoisseurs.

Great experience! Andriana is a very knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot, both about wine and the region. The tour included tasting 11 great wines and we also had the chance to taste 2 reserve wines as courtesy. It was very interesting comparing the same wines but from different years! We would recommend the tour 100%.

My family and I decided to do a wine tour in Greece and we came across The Wine Connoisseurs- wine Tourism
In Greece. Katerina organized a private tour in just 2 days. The tour was amazing!
~Facebook Comment~
Excellent tour! The Wine Connoisseurs was extremely organized and planned a great experience taking the train in the Peloponnese with a small tasting onboard. Then to a hidden gem of a restaurant with another great tasting of wines! Thank you Adriana and Katerina for an amazing experience! Can't wait to come back again.

My husband and I spent a wonderful day learning about Greek wines with Ms. Andriana. We did this tour with her on the last day of our holiday. So in addition to learning about viniculture in Nemea and tasting lovely Nemean wines, we learned more about the Greek wines we had tasted from other regions during our trip.
It was clear that she had developed good relations with two wineries we visited - Ms. Andriana curated the six wines we tasted at each winery. We tasted a few wines that the wineries did not include in their regular tasting sessions. We were also able to linger longer at each winery to chat and take photos.
We then had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in new Nemea - she picked a lovely wine from another local winery that suited the range of dishes we had selected from the menu.
We highly recommend a tasting tour with Ms. Andriana when staying the Nafplio area - it took us only 1-hour to reach Nemea. Since her colleague, Mr. Matteo, did all the driving and Ms. Andriana was able to give full attention to our questions during the drive. We learned about Greek history, life, and economics during our tour and felt like we had made a new friends in Greece by the time we were dropped off at our bed & breakfast.

We had the BEST time exploring Nemea with Andriana on our honeymoon. We were staying in Athens and were met by a private driver in a very comfortable van on time in the morning. The communication was perfect from my initial email through the end of the tour.
Andriana made a customized booklet for our wine tour that educated us about the most important Greek grape varieties, as well as all of the wines we would be tasting. We started by going to the Ancient archaeological site of Nemea and the Nemean games, and visited two wineries: the Gofas family winery which had really wide ranging expressions of Greek wines, as well as Semeli, a larger winery, but one of the most beautiful we have ever seen @ 600meters above sea level.
Andriana made us big fans of Greek wines. Even though they are not as well known as other European wines, they deserve to be tried and respected! They match up with some of the best Italian and French wines we’ve had, and we were told all about the history of the region while we drank in comfort in both places. We finished at a traditional Greek taverna where we had an incredible lunch and washed it down with, you guessed it, more wine!
I cannot recommend the Wine Connoiseurs enough - they should be your first choice for any sort of wine tourism while in Greece. We will hopefully be back!
In our company we promote a hybrid way of working and most of our employees work remote. It is essential to engage with our team and bond throughout shared experiences.
We chose a Wine Tour in Nemea. Since we all stayed in Athens there was a Mini Van with Chauffer that picked us from the hotel. The ride was lovely and Mrs Andriana is very knowledgeable around the cultural sites we came across. It was a blessing we had great weather the whole day.
In the winery the first thing that catches your eye is the view and a great start to get our appetite. The food was savory and the wines so pleasant and distinctive that some of our employees bought a bottle or two as a gift. The wine tasting was amusing, we learned a lot about the history of Greek wine, the wine making and we especially enjoyed the wine-themed games at the end.
We would like to thank Mrs Andrianna for a full and joyful day, the trip definitely brought us closer and we encourage other teams to have a corporate event with The Wine Connoisseurs!Cheers!!!

~Google My Business~We had a wonderful experience with Adriana and The Wine Connoisseurs. Evertything was planned and executed perfectly. Adriana lined-up tours and tastings at three very different wineries, which provided an excellent introduction to, and overview of, Greek wines. We can't wait to come back!
~Google My Business~It was nice to explore the wineries in Nemea and get to speak to the wine makers, learning more on the wine making process and the region’s wine history firsthand. Enjoyed the variety in taste and smell in their wines, while the overall atmosphere was excellent! Andriana was very accommodating and well prepared to answer all of our questions. Highly recommend!
~Google My Business~We had a wonderful experience on our wine tour with Andriana. We chose a private tour of Nemea. We were collected from our hotel in the morning and visited 3 vineyards where we tasted lots of beautiful Greek wine. The tour was very well organised and Andriana was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. We would highly recommend The Wine Connoisseurs to anyone visiting Greece. A very enjoyable day and the highlight of our holiday
~Google My Business~We were offered this wine tour as a gift; overall, one of the best wine tastings in Greece! I always wanted to visit Nemea and apart from the wineries we also had a tour in Ancient Nemea and Nafplio and drank like Gods. Andriana was very accommodating, they even picked us up from our hotel and drove us around the vineyards. The guided tour was both pleasant and informative, we got to see these charming family-owned vineyards and the owners were delightful! We learned about local grape varieties and tasted five local wines. Highly professional setting, would definitely recommend!
~Google My Business~Una de las mejores experiencias que tuvimos en nuestro viaje a Grecia. Elegimos "Drink like a Good" tour en Nemea. Estábamos en la ciudad de Nafplio y un conductor profesional con un automóvil se lujo nos recogió en nuestro hotel. Visitamos tres bodegas y degustamos 20 vinos de calidad. Nos guiaron a los viñedos de cada bodega y Adriana sabía todo sobre la región y la historia del vino. Ella es una experta en vinos y fue una experiencia increíble!! Al final disfrutamos de un gran almuerzo cerca del mar maridado con maravillosos vinos. Considerándolo todo, definitivamente recomiendo The Wine Connoisseurs si quieres una experiencia de vino increíble!!
~Google My Business~It was the first time I had a wine tour and I must say I was impressed. The wine tour in Nemea was amazing and the wine tasting experience was excellent. I was impressed with the organized trip and the privacy. We even visited the archaeological sites in Nemea! Next time I visit Greece with my girlfriend, we will definitely make another wine tour with the Wine Connoisseurs team to a different destination. I highly recommend to every wine enthusiast to have a private wine tour with the Wine Connoisseurs!
~Google My Business~My wife and I had a wonderful day with Andriana! We visit Greece every 2 years and make it a point to do at least 2 wine tours each time we visit to further educate ourselves about Greek wine but also be able to bring our knowledge back to the US to share with others who are interested. We had never visited wineries in the Attica area so we were very excited to learn! Andriana is a master planner and keeps you informed about any possible changes or delays. Our tour was altered close to our date due to COVID, but Andriana quickly found alternative wineries for us that were just fantastic. The wines, the views, the wineries, the people and the food were just terrific! We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Syntagma and away we went! Just a lovely time to learn and make new friends.
~Tripadvisor~During our stay in Athens we had a very nice day with The Wine Connoisseurs.
They organised a full day tour visiting the Temple of Poseidon en the Strofilia winery.
Very punctual, very well informed, good and safe transportation.
I would definitely recommend The Wine Connoisseurs for wine related tours in Greece.

We have done wine tours in Italy, France and the US and this tour, led by the lovely and gracious Adriana was the best! We started with a prompt pick-up from our hotel in central Athens and within 40 minutes we were in the wine region of Markopoulo to taste some extremely high quality (the value was shocking) white wines. We walked the vineyards and learned about bush vines and spoke to vineyard-mangers and wine makers. All the while we tasted along with Adriana who provided a well prepared tasting book (above and beyond!) and her knowledgeable and charming company as well! It is worth every penny—we highly recommend!

We had such a lovely wine tour with Andriana through the Nemea wine region! It was a perfect day trip - we were picked up in the morning, then driven around to three wineries where we had tours of the wineries and tastings. In addition to having a delightful personality, Andriana has extensive knowledge of the region and wine making, and also has relationships with interesting wineries you would not find by touring yourself. We recommend The Wine Connoisseurs to anyone who would like a well-planned and high quality wine tasting experience!

This was a highlight of our trip. We did the Athens Wine Odyssey and just love it. We were picked up at our hotel in a nice luxury van with A/C and waters ready to go. Our first winery was amazing with a wine museum that had a lot of history that Adriana explained to us. She really knows all the history about Greek wine making and it was all very interesting. The wine was excellent. We then went to another winery again seeing the beautiful countryside and met with a very lovely winery owner that showed us around her winery and then tasted their wines which were amazing. We ended up buying wine at both places. We then went to a local Greek restaurant and had an excellent lunch and were able to enjoy more of the wines. I highly recommend this and give it 2 thumbs up!!

The wine tasting event was very well organized and we have learned a lot about the taste, smell and colour of the different sorts of wine. The wine-guide was well informed and gave us information in an interesting and entertaining way. Semelis wineyard was perfectly located and we could further enjoy the wine with a nice view until the sea. Ms. Foi and her team were very welcome and friendly. In the end we received nice gifts, a broschure with information regarding the wines we tried and nice pictures to remember those moments!
All in all: Excellent experience.

An enjoyable and excellent day out! Andriana and her team put together a great programme which took a full day. Pick up from our accommodation, followed by a drive through Patras to Achaia Clauss winery. A passionately presented tour of the Museum (a history of Greek wine making in itself) and the Imperial Cellar, before a highly knowledgeable and friendly wine tasting. A progressive range of white, rose, red and sweet wines, all enjoyable, 'served' with detailed information and background.
On to the completely different Mega Spileo (and related labels) winery at Aigio. We were walked through a contrasting modern and high volume wine and ouzo production facility, before being invited into the tasting room to sample many of the premium Mega Spileo wines. Again, a deeply informative and comprehensive presentation of their extensive range of wines, enjoyed in an interactive and fun extended discussion with the wine maker himself!
All followed by a rather late lunch by the sea on the Gulf of Corinth. We would recommend Wine Connoisseurs and this tour to anyone with an interest in - or who simply enjoys - good wines.

She took us to the Palivou Estate, Gaia and Seméli, where she had picked out some really ice wines for us to sample. She took good care of the kids too. They got some books, juice, cookies and other treats. The day ended with a three course dinner at a nice restaurant and some coffee at a coffee shop in Korinth. This was an educational and fun day! Highly recommend!

We had an excellent time with Andriana guiding us through 3 different wineries and wine tastings in the Nemea region. Tasted a lot of very nice wines and the kids got juice and cookies. We liked that the wineries were quite different, from the family and cozy atmosphere at Palivou to the larger more industrial layout at Semeli. We were picked up and dropped off were we were staying quite far away from the bigger touristy areas which was nice also. Can recommend this even if you have kids with as they enjoyed the day too.

Abbiamo organizzato un fantastico tour enogastronomico attraverso gli antichi vigneti della regione dellìAchaia. Abbiamo visitato due enoteche, ci siamo arrivati con un trenino che ha attraversato li Gole del Bouraikos. Durante il viaggio ci hanno offerto dei vini locali che abbiamo gustato ammirando il suggestivo panorama dei vigneti della Grande Caverna. Abbiamo visitato un antichissimo monastero, le sue antiche e austere celle. Oltre ad aver assaporato buon vino abbiamo assaggiato i piatti della cucina locale e appezzato l'accoglienza greca. Un viaggio inedito che vale la pena fare!!!

Thank you so much for such an awesome day.! We loved everything that you planned for us. Our day wasn't like being on a tour, it was like spending the day with a good friend. The only thing missing from our grape picking experience was that we didn't get to stomp the grapes with our feet! We can't wait to see the photos from the vineyard. I imagine some of them are pretty funny. I hope that our paths will cross sometime again in the future as well. If you ever come to the States, please look us up. In the meantime, my very best wishes for your continued success with your new business.

Luxury staying, finest Greek gastronomy and innovative ways to introduce us to Greek Wine History and Taste…The ideal combination of knowledge, experience and high level of professionalism!

We had to remain in the city of Patras only for half day and we wanted to do something more than just wondering around ! So we chose the Wine Connoisseurs to take us to the Achaia Clauss winery for a private wine tasting experience! We tasted five premium wines and among them the famous variety of Mavrodaphne.The wine tasting was private in the Villa of Gustav Claus and then we had lunch that had been organized for us! We also visited the imperial cellar and the wine museum. Everything was as promised and the experience customized for us. Thank you Andriana for the lovely day we spent together!!

We visited Nemea following the tour “Drink like a God”.The guided tour to Ancient Nemea as well as the tour in Semeli estate were perfectly organized. We learnt a lot about Greece’s Wine History and indigenous grape variety of Agiorgitiko. Our wine taste included five wines and a Greek private meal in the winery which was tasteful. Andriana and Margarita were excellent hostesses!
~Email Note~
Last afternoon I returned to my first years of dealing with the magic product called wine. Our great friend Andriana Foi, led us step by step through the most important vineyards of Greece, to the tasting of the most important Greek wine varieties. Without arrogance, without prejudice to the simplistic questions of the participants who began yesterday their acquaintance with wine.
In a modest but excellent setting, at Moxy hotel, with lots of dialogue, awareness sharing, teasing and jokes.
Our first wine tasting was very succeeded!!!
