The Wines of Greece: Ancient Traditions & Modern Discoveries
About this Event
Journey with us through one of the world's oldest and most exciting wine-producing countries. In this class, you'll explore Greece's rich winemaking history, diverse wine regions, and remarkable indigenous grape varieties that captivate wine lovers around the globe.
Not long ago, the mention of Greek wines evoked thoughts of either, large production uninteresting wines, or poorly made wines poured by the liter in Greek restaurants. Over the past few decades, technology has caught up to Greek winemaking, and today hundreds of winemakers all across Greece are finally able to show the world the beauty of their vineyards in a glass.
In this tasting we will discover why wines made from crisp, mineral-driven Assyrtiko, and fruit-forward Agiorgitiko have become favorites among sommeliers. Along the way, you'll learn how Greece's unique climates, mountainous landscapes, and volcanic soils shape its distinctive wine styles.
Whether you're new to Greek wine or already a Greek-geek, this class offers a fun introduction to a country whose ancient wine traditions continue to inspire modern winemaking. Come taste the flavors of Greece and uncover some of the wine world's best-kept secrets.
