Like many English words, oenology has Greek roots. The ancient Greek oinos, for wine, plus the suffix logia, for study, gives us oenology – the study of wine. While winemaking in Greece dates back over 6,500 years, modern oenophiles will discover a reinvented Greek wine industry that embraces indigenous varietals and artisanal production. During our Greek island wine tours in the Cyclades, you will appreciate the ingenious techniques local winemakers use to cultivate grapes in very challenging conditions. Volcanic soils, salty Aegean Sea air, and an arid climate translate into very dry wines with concentrated flavors, citrus aromas, and great minerality. Perfect for both modern wine palates and the traditional Greek island foods in Sifnos, Milos, and Santorini.
Athens
The birthplace of democracy and global gateway to Greece, Athens is a modern metropolis bridging Greece’s ancient past with contemporary Greek culinary, artistic, and entertainment culture.
Aegean Vines
The Cyclades boast whitewashed island villages and beautiful beaches but are very hard places to grow grapes. Cultivating Assyrtiko vines in little curled nests on Santorini is a fascinating technique!
Greek Varietals
The volume of wine made in Greece is a fraction of its Mediterranean counterparts’, but only mega wine producers Spain, France, and Italy have a larger diversity of native grapes under cultivation.
Mythology & Culture
The gods of ancient Greek mythology are well known, but what motivated the Bronze Age people of the Cycladic culture to sculpt thousands of minimalist human figurines remains an enigma.
