Discover the Wine Routes of Greece
On Sunday, 8 November 2026, wineries across Greece will celebrate World Wine Tourism Day and welcome visitors to discover the country’s rich winemaking heritage, explore picturesque vineyards, and sample exceptional Greek wines.
Participating wineries will open their doors to the public, offering opportunities to meet local wine producers, learn about the winemaking process, explore production facilities and ageing cellars, and taste both newly released wines and older vintages. Visitors can also discover wines from the latest harvest while enjoying the beautiful landscapes of Greece’s wine-producing regions.
What to Expect
World Wine Tourism Day offers a unique opportunity to experience Greek wine culture firsthand. Depending on the winery, activities may include:
- Guided tours and wine tastings: Explore vineyards, production facilities and ageing cellars while discovering a selection of wines.
- Food and wine pairings: Sample wines alongside local specialities and regional products.
- Special events: Enjoy culinary workshops, music, art exhibitions and other activities organised by participating wineries.
- Meet the producers: Learn about local grape varieties, winemaking traditions and the people behind Greece’s wines.
Admission is traditionally free at participating wineries, although individual activities, tastings or special events may have specific requirements. Opening hours and booking arrangements vary by winery; visitors should check the details in advance.
