Greece is joining the global celebration of World Wine Tourism Day this Sunday, November 10th, by opening the doors of its renowned wineries to visitors. From vineyard tours and tastings to unique cultural experiences, there's something for everyone to enjoy. This Sunday, 26 wineries across Northern Greece will offer free entry as part of the Wines of Northern Greece network.
Visitors can create their own "wine route" along eight distinctive paths, each offering guided tours, tastings of new and aged wines, and insights into the unique qualities of this year's grape harvest. In the Peloponnese, Ktima Skoura in Nemea will celebrate local flavors with freshly baked bread, new olive oil, aged cheese, and a selection of fine wines. Ktima Semeli offers a complete wine tourism experience, including guided tours of its production areas, tastings, and cellar visits.
For a more intimate setting, Ktima Mega Spileo will introduce its latest sparkling wine, Mystic Rose, alongside guided tastings. In Northern Greece, visitors can explore dedicated wine trails like the "Wine Route of the Olympian Gods" at Ktima Katsarou in Olympus, or the "Wine Route of Epirus" with stops at Zoinos Winery in Zitsa and Katogi Averoff in Metsovo. Ktima Voyatzi on the "Wine Route of the Lakes" will host a special wine-and-chocolate workshop.
Other wineries across Greece are also joining the festivities. Ktima Alpha will offer tastings of aged wines, while Ktima Gerovassiliou will host a "Vine Hiking" experien.
