The experience

The tour starts with a drive through Kavala's countryside, where your guide talks through the region's history, Greek customs and mythology while you head toward the village of Adriani. Once at the vineyard, you walk through the wine cellars to see where the bottles are stored and aged, then sit down for the tasting itself. A certified oenologist walks you through the winemaking process in plain language (no jargon, no heavy technical detail), so you understand what's in the glass and why it matters.

You'll taste five different wine labels, each one explained briefly before you drink it. Alongside each pour comes a cheese board and charcuterie board, matched to complement the wine. The group stays small enough that you can ask questions without feeling rushed, and the whole thing is built around slowing down and actually tasting what you're drinking instead of just moving through a checklist.

An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel or a point you choose, and the entrance fees to the vineyard are included in the price. Bring a valid ID if you're under 21. The minimum age for the tasting is 18.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and French.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24h before the start.

What exactly happens during the wine tasting part?

You sit down and taste five different wine labels one by one, with a certified oenologist explaining each one before you drink it. Each wine comes with a matched cheese or charcuterie board, so you're tasting the pairing together rather than the wine alone.

Is the drive to the vineyard part of the experience or just transportation?

The drive is part of it. Your guide talks through the region's history, Greek customs and mythology as you head toward Adriani, so you're learning about the place before you arrive at the vineyard.

How many people will be on the tour?

The group stays small so the experience stays relaxed and personal. You'll be able to ask questions without feeling like you're holding up a line.

What's included in the price and what costs extra?

The price covers the five wines, the cheese and charcuterie boards, entrance to the vineyard, the air-conditioned vehicle, and the guide's time. Lunch can be arranged for an additional cost if you want it.

Do I need to know anything about wine to enjoy this?

No. The oenologist explains the winemaking process in simple language so you understand what's behind every bottle without it feeling technical. The whole point is to experience wine the right way, not to prove you know about it already.
