Wine Bar

“Greek wines are distinctive and vibrant. The focus is on indigenous varieties with unique flavours, rooted in some of the world’s most amazing terroirs”.

Greece is an emerging force, a wine- producing country that has earned a lot of praise in the last decade among wine experts. With approximately 250 indigenous grape varieties, a great diversity of available terroirs, and passionate, knowledgeable winemakers, it is certainly the next big thing in the global wine market.

We warmly invite you to taste some of these wines and chat with our two sommeliers, Gregory Michailos and Marianna Makrigianni. They are enthusiastic to share their knowledge of Greek wines and guide you through indigenous Greek grape varieties and international cuvees, among others.
