Exquisite Greek Wines: A Journey Through Vineyards.
Begin your tour with a few of Greece’s finest wines, each bottle telling a story of ancient vineyards and modern winemaking expertise. Discover the floral and refreshing flavors of Moschofilero from the Peloponnese, the robust complexity of Xinomavro from northern Greece, and the deep, fruity richness of Agiorgitiko from the Nemea region of the Peloponnese. These wines are carefully selected to complement the rich tapestry of Greek flavors you’ll encounter.
Authentic Greek Cheeses and Olives.
Pair your wines with a tempting assortment of Greece’s finest cheeses and olives. Enjoy the creamy tang of Feta, the aged perfection of Kasseri, and the strong flavor and nuttiness of Graviera. These cheeses are accompanied by a variety of olives, each offering a taste of the Mediterranean. Savor the rich, fruity Kalamata Olives, the plump and buttery Green Olive from Halkidiki in northern Greece, and the sweet, sun-dried Throuba Olives from Thassos. Continue your journey with a curated selection of traditional Greek mezes and artisanal delights. Delight in the creamy goodness of feta spread, kalamata olive tapenade, the smoky richness of melitzanosalata (grilled and pulverized eggplant salad), and herb-filled Dolmades. These small plates are designed for sharing, reflecting the social nature of Greek dining.
