4.00It is a long day. Be prepared. However, the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and smart, she went out of her way to create a memorable experience, whether it was picking fresh figs for us, or visiting a local bakery on our way back to by fresh baklava. She opened my eyes to understanding how wines complement foods. She was light hearted and humorous.
Fantastic tour!

5.00Best wine experience we ever had. Areti is an excellent guide. She was informative about the wines and the area. She got to know our individual taste and had us try different things. We ended up having a lot of great wines and an amazing experience. The food was also great. Areti even picked us some ripe figs as we were walking the vineyard. Can't say enough about this tour.
Such a wonderful experience!

5.00Areti was our chauffeur, tour guide, and sommelier. She made it a great experience in every aspect! Areti was attentive to all our needs (rest stops, water) and interests. She allowed us as much time as we wanted to explore the wine (some were exceptional). She took the time to explain in detail the different aromatic qualities, flavors of the wine and food pairings. My husband is a chef and we are both wine connoisseurs and foodies. We highly recommend this tour.
Areti was super friendly...
