Description:

Explore the world of Mediterranean flavors as you experience some of the region's finest vintages and cuisine. Savor a wide variety of local, regional, and international wines—each matched with a Greek delicacy to maximize its appeal.

Vineria Wine Cellar invites you to encounter a world of new tastes, colors, and scents. Meet your wine expert, a native of Crete who has spent all of his or her life learning the secrets of the Greek vine and wine business through generations. Hear about Crete's primary wine varieties—7 white and 3 red—and how vilana (a Greek wine grape) is produced, making a delicate wine that is rarely seen outside of Greece.

Next, your guide takes you on a journey through Crete's viticulture, providing you with historical background about each region, the characteristics of every wine you try, the type of grapes used, and the influence of climate in producing the scrumptious taste.

You also hear about Greek regional wine and even about some international fine wines. Your sommelier then teaches you the best way to savor your selections. Indulge your taste buds with new textures, aromas, and astonishing flavors. Practice a few different techniques as you match your drink with a selection of bread, Cretan rusks, Greek smoked meats, and local cheese.
