Wine Tasting & Picnic at Philopappou Hill, Athens

Marianna and Stavroula are two oenologists united by a shared vision, born out of a deep love for wine and the vineyard, always rooted in a close connection with nature. For them, wine is a pure expression of the land it comes from.

With this initiative, they invite people to experience wine in its truest form — through outdoor excursions and unique activities that bring everyone closer to what they are most passionate about.

The journey begins with a gentle walk from the Herodeion, leading to a specially chosen spot on the Hill of Philopappos in Athens, Attica. With sweeping views of the Acropolis and an atmosphere of tranquility, the stage is set for a truly immersive tasting experience.

A wine picnic awaits: four carefully selected wines from native Greek varieties paired with freshly baked bread, fragrant extra virgin olive oil, olives, and local cheeses.
