Wine Tasting in Thessaloniki: Explore More Than 300 Labels
One of the highlights of Wine Explorers Thessaloniki 2026 is its extensive selection of more than 300 wine labels. Visitors can explore a variety of wines, compare styles, and discover bottles that match their tastes.
The walk-around tasting format allows guests to move freely between participating wines and create their own tasting itinerary. Rather than following a fixed sequence, visitors can focus on the varieties, regions and wine styles that interest them most.
Whether you are an experienced wine lover or just beginning to explore the world of wine, the event offers an opportunity to broaden your palate and discover new labels in one place.
An Interactive Wine-Tasting Experience
Wine Explorers combines traditional wine tasting with digital tools designed to make the experience more engaging and personal.
Through the official Wine Explorers app, visitors can scan QR codes to access wine information, record tasting notes, rate wines, and save their favourite discoveries to a personal wishlist. These features help guests keep track of the wines they enjoy and make it easier to revisit their selections after the event.
A pop-up wine shop is also part of the experience, with a 20% discount advertised on participating wines, subject to the organiser’s terms and conditions.
Discover the Connection Between Wine and Gastronomy
Wine and food are closely connected, and wine tasting offers an opportunity to explore how grape varieties, aromas, acidity, structure and flavour can complement different dishes.
At Wine Explorers Thessaloniki 2026, visitors can discover wines that may inspire new food-pairing ideas and gain a broader appreciation of wine’s diversity. For gastronomy enthusiasts, the event offers another way to explore the ingredients, traditions and flavours that shape the dining experience.
The event also gives visitors opportunities to learn more about the wines they taste and identify labels they may want to enjoy at home or discover on restaurant wine lists.
