Private Wine Tasting

Private Wine Tasting

Greece’s winemaking tradition stretches back over 4,000 years, and its islands produce some of the Mediterranean’s most distinctive wines — from Santorini’s mineral-driven Assyrtiko to Kefalonia’s aromatic Robola. A private wine tasting with Astra Villas Collection introduces you to this heritage through carefully selected local producers, away from the tour-bus crowds.

Your experience can take place at a boutique local vineyard with panoramic views, or entirely within the privacy of your villa, where a knowledgeable sommelier guides you through a curated flight of wines paired with local cheeses, olives and small bites.

What’s Included

• Private tasting of 5-6 local and regional wines
• Knowledgeable sommelier or winery host
• Paired local cheeses, olives and appetisers
• Choice of vineyard setting or in-villa tasting
• Transport arranged when visiting a vineyard

Why Guests Love This Experience

It’s a relaxed, sociable way to discover the island’s terroir and history without leaving your comfort behind. Many guests are surprised by the quality and diversity of Greek wine, and the experience pairs beautifully with a private chef dinner later in the evening.
