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.
