    Enjoy delicious food and wine tours in Greece, handpicked for you by experts

    Exquisite cuisine and regional specialities in Greece

    On your Greece food tour you will taste your way through moussaka, layers of aubergine, meat and béchamel; spanakopita, spinach and feta in crispy filo pastry; and dolmades, a meze dish of stuffed vine leaves. Then there’s souvlaki, which represents street food at its finest – tender marinated meat grilled over charcoal and served with warm pita, tzatziki, tomatoes and onion.

    Meze culture in Greece encourages sampling many small plates paired with ouzo, tsipouro or raki – or the Greek wines that have experienced a remarkable renaissance in recent years. Local grape varieties like Assyrtiko grown in the volcanic soil on Santorini produce whites that pair beautifully with seafood, while Agiorgitiko from the mountainous Peloponnese creates smooth roses and reds, perfect for roasted meats and tomato sauces.

    During your stay in Nafplio in the Peloponnese you will venture into the countryside to walk through olive and orange groves, visit beehives and tour an historic ouzo distillery. In Athens and Crete’s Chania you will visit lively markets and discover sensational street food with a local expert. On a wine tour in Santorini you will explore the island and its lime washed villages, cruise the jewel-blue waters by private yacht and be introduced to the best of Santorini’s gastronomy and family-owned wineries.

    Our expert travel designers take care of the details to ensure that your food and wine tour in Greece is seamless – and personalised to you.

    When to visit

    The best time to visit Greece is typically from May to September, when the country is bathed in sunshine and summertime warmth. This is when the Greek Islands and beaches are at their best – though they can get busy during peak season in July and August. If you’re interested in exploring Athens or experiencing local holidays, spring (March to June) or autumn (September to November) might be better.
