About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Weronika O0 contributionsAbsolutely delightfulA gem in the heart of Athens. A delightful spot, we enjoyed all our wines. The service was fantastic! We loved hearing about the local wines. Such a pretty outdoor sitting area too!Written August 2, 2024
- snnrwd640 contributionsA Fantastic Find in the PlakaThs was a fantastic find in the Plaka district of Athens. No seats were available when we stumbled upon this place but the hostess/waitress told us to return in 10 minutes and a seat would be available. We waited on a doorway step next to the wine bar and our host - Sophia - served us at the step. It was a wonderful place to people watch and enjoy Athens. The wine bar, staff, and ambience were all fantastic and I highly recommend a visit. Even purchased a bottle for bringing back to the USA. The staff is very knowledgeable about Greek wines. And we did move over to the "cart" to enjoy our wine. Both the doorstep and cart were magical experiences.Written April 2, 2024

- smbraz0 contributionsOutstanding personalized wine tasting experience in a cozy atmosphereMy friend and I had a wonderful night here at a personal and thoughtful wine tasting that Sofia prepared for us in her cozy shop! It was a highlight of our long weekend in Athens. It was my first time tasting Greek wines and I was impressed. We tried many wines from different regions (red, white, and even bubbly per my friend’s request!). Sofia paired the wine with outstanding Greek cheeses, olives, tomatoes and olive oil!! The whole experience was a very good value for what we received. Just stop by the shop and see what they can arrange for you. We visited in the winter time, stopped by to inquire about a tasting, and they were able to host us later that same evening! Sofia was very knowledgeable and is such a warm and hospitable person. She made the evening so enjoyable, it was like having wine with a friend. We were happy to also meet her husband - they seem to make a great team and have a wonderful business! We hope to visit them again in future.Written January 7, 2020

What an incredible experience! The owner of the wine shop Sofia was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, she truly elevated the experience with her detailed explanations and her warm welcome. The 6 wines we tasted were all tailored to our tastes which definitely made this special & the food was tasty & fresh. We truly recommend this wine tasting, you will not be disappointed!

This was one of my favorite things we did in Athens. The selection of wines was fantastic and they were so nice to accommodate us with a sleeping toddler in tow. This was possibly the most relaxed I was the entire trip. The wines were a great mix of affordable and luxury (we purchased 3 bottles). The tasting takes place in a beautiful quiet stretch of Plaka looking down a gorgeous street. Would highly recommend!

Great range of 8 wines to taste, all Greek, which are accompanied by deli items (olives, ham, cheese etc) from across Greece. The host does a fantastic job of talking you through everything and explaining the origin and tastes.
You’re placed on individual tables, so this is an intimate experience (perfect for couples) rather than a large group tasting with strangers. It’s also on a quiet street with beautiful lighting which makes for a tranquil experience. Would highly recommend.

A magical experience. My husband and I are still talking about it. We were fashionably late, got caught up enjoying a conversation with a local, and lost track of time. We were still greeted with love. We tasted several wines - whites, reds, and a dessert. We were able to customize how many of what we would like, as well as the order we wished to try them. Our host was sweet and informative, and we loved the story that came with each taste. We got to see a map of each place the grapes are grown and harvested, she answered all of our questions about the wines too. The charcuterie board was delicious and went well with the wines. 10/10 experience! We look forward to one day returning in 2024 or 2025.

My friends and I really enjoyed the wine tasting. The owner of the shop helped us understand where the wines came from and hand picked each based on our age. She was very nice and accommodating to us , we really loved her. We also loved the Crudité board and the view of the beautiful little alleyway we got to sit in. I would definitely recommend and would come back again

Absolutely fantastic experience. Wine was phenomenal, food was scrummy and more than enough for our evening meal. Service was 11/10, they were so informative and helpful. Couldn't do enough for us, or any of the other guests. Would rate highest amongst all of my experiences in Athens, and will be doing this again.

Sofia presented us with an excellent array of wines from throughout Greece. She gave a fascinating preview of what to expect and asked us for our thoughts. Fine Wine is located on a beautiful little street in Plaka under the shade of a tree, the breeze and atmosphere was awesome. She even serves wonderful treats, a cheeseboard with salami and tomatoes, which are also from around Greece. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Athens!
