Wine Making Workshop: Craft Your Own Bottle in Athens

Set in a wine atelier in central Athens, this 2-hour workshop walks you through the core steps of winemaking — tasting, blending, and bottling — under the guidance of a qualified sommelier. The session is designed for all levels: no prior wine knowledge is needed. The tasting phase covers five rare Greek red grape varieties. You observe colour, identify aromas, and note the texture of each wine. From there you move into blending, combining the varieties in proportions of your choosing and refining the mix with feedback from your sommelier until you have a composition you are happy with. Once your blend is settled, you cork the bottle by hand, apply a wax seal, and design a custom label. The bottle you walk out with is the one you made. A small plate of Greek cheeses, olives, and homemade rusks is served throughout the session. The workshop runs daily at 12:30 and 20:30. Groups are kept small to allow individual attention from the sommelier. Participants must be 18 or older and should bring a valid photo ID. The exact atelier address is shared after booking.
