Olive Oil and Wine Tasting in Greece: Three Oils, Three Wines

Taste oils from three regions, learn how each one is made

This olive oil and wine tasting in Greece lets you sample three extra virgin oils sourced from Mount Athos, Crete and Sparta, paired with local wines and six traditional Mykonian mezes including tzatziki, fried sausages and mushrooms. A live guide walks you through Greek olive oil production — from harvest to pressing — over 2.5 hours. Free parking is included; the minimum age is 18.

The Experience

You'll taste the richness of three exceptional olive oils, each one sourced from a different region with its own character: the sacred groves of Mount Athos, the sun-soaked fields of Crete, and the historic lands of Sparta. As you move through each oil, the guide explains how it was crafted — the careful harvesting of olives, the time-honored pressing techniques, the choices that shape the final flavor. This is not a passive tasting; you're learning the story behind what's in your glass.

The oils are paired with three glasses of wine and a spread of traditional Mykonian mezes — tzatziki, tyrokafteri, eggplant spread, mostra, fried Mykonian sausages and fried mushrooms. The mezes anchor the tasting, letting you see how these flavors work together on the island's own table. The whole experience runs 2.5 hours, and parking is free.
