5.00We were pleasantly surprised with this wine tour. Great location on the sea and super wines. I'm Greek and I learned interesting information about Greek wines and how they compare with other well known wines from France and Italy. My girlfriend and I live in Athens and we often head south to the beaches. We love this beach bar to begin with, and this is the first time we tried a wine tasting. It was well worth it. Kris is very knowledgeable and a gracious host. The wines we tasted were incredible, and now I have some new favourites to add to my cellar. Highly recommend.
A TRULY GREAT WINE TOUR

5.00My wife and I had an awesome time! We have done a few wine tours in our day, but this was the best, and our favorite, by far. The selection of wines and the pairings were awesome. More than that, the stories, the conversation, and the knowledge that went along with all of it was just our style; Kris can talk technically, he can talk casually, but he was always talking with us, not at us. He did a great job of answering our questions while appealing to our own relationship with wine - we appreciate fine and vintage bottles, especially here in Europe, but we also love great value wines that retail for $10-$20 per bottle. Kris was very knowledgeable about the unique characteristics of Greek and Mediterranean wines, and he connected those with wines we know we love from France and other countries. We live in southwest Germany, so we talked a lot about wines from Germany and France. Greek wines are relatively new to our pallet, but we found all of it very enjoyable. When you learn about the climate, the terroir, the food culture, and how people historically drank wine in Greece, it all makes so much sense. Such fun. Kris was disarming, approachable and knowledgeable. He was a great resource, guide, and a fun conversation. We even got to meet his dog named “Riesling”. She is such a sweet dog. Thank you so much Kris. We had a blast and we wish Eat Drink Fun all the best!
Simply great

5.00Our expert-led wine tasting on a serene Greek beach was exceptional. We delved into the world of wine with industry-standard techniques and discovered Greece's unique wine heritage. The experience was perfect for all, from beginners to connoisseurs. The setting was idyllic, blending relaxation with elegance, ideal for unwinding pre or post Greek island adventures. With flexible scheduling, we enjoyed leisurely beach time and nearby activities at our own pace. Special dietary needs were accommodated, ensuring a personalized and memorable day.
