Best Greek Wine Regions?

[redsoxdw_]

I’m planning a trip to Greece and, as a wine enthusiast, I’m eager to explore some of the country's best wine regions. I've heard a lot about the rich history and unique flavors of Greek wines, and I would love to visit some vineyards and wineries during my stay.

Can anyone recommend the top wine regions to visit in Greece? I’m particularly interested in areas that offer beautiful landscapes, wine tastings, and perhaps some local food pairings. I’ve heard of places like Santorini and the Peloponnese, but I’m sure there are hidden gems I might not be aware of.

Any tips on specific wineries, wine tours, or regions that are a must-see would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you have any advice on the best time to visit these regions, that would be helpful too.

Greece has some fantastic wine regions that will delight any wine enthusiast. Santorini is famous for its unique Assyrtiko wines, with stunning vineyard landscapes against the backdrop of the caldera. Don’t miss SantoWines for breathtaking views and excellent tastings.

In the Peloponnese, the Nemea region is known for its rich Agiorgitiko reds. Gaia Wines and Semeli Estate are top choices for wine tours and food pairings.

For a lesser-known gem, visit Naoussa in northern Greece, where the Xinomavro grape produces bold, complex wines. The Boutari Winery is a great spot to explore this region.

The best time to visit is late spring to early autumn when the vineyards are lush, and you can enjoy the full tasting experience.
