This tour offers a captivating blend of ancient history at the Sanctuary of Artemis in Vravrona and a premium tasting of 11 local wines at the historic Gkikas Winery, providing a true insider’s look into Attica’s cultural and winery traditions.

We begin our tour in the sanctuary of Artemis in Vravrona. We discover its function as one of the most important sanctuaries in the region of Attica, while dive into the history of the region of Mesogaia and its surroundings. Mesogaia area is considered one of the oldest winery regions of Europe, where the dry and hot climate with the cold breeze from the sea create the perfect conditions for the vineyards. 

We continue with a unique journey through the rich world of Greek wine. Enjoy a premium wine tasting experience by Gkikas Winery, including all wines (11 samples) and a premium line. Wines are accompanied by breadsticks and plates of Greek cheeses. Since the late 19th century, in the heart of Paiania, in the Old Village, winemaking took place in the Gkika’s family winepress, where wines were produced using traditional methods.

You can enjoy relaxing moments in Attica while discovering everyday life and traditional winery with a local.
