Greece

Sail through millennia of vine culture with us as we explore Greece—the cradle of Mediterranean wine. From windswept Aegean terraces carved into volcanic rock to Cretan hills shaped by ancient trade routes, Greece’s vineyards have nurtured indigenous grapes since antiquity. Amphorae once carried these wines across empires; tonight, their descendants speak of salt air, sun, stone, and altitude.

This guided tasting traces the arc of Greek wine from mountain to island, showcasing precision farming, heritage varieties, and deft, modern craftsmanship rooted in timeless tradition. Expect vivid acidity, mineral drive, and layered aromatics—a journey where history isn’t a backdrop, but the heartbeat of every glass.

Champagne

Spain is a land of extremes—craggy Atlantic coastlines, high mountain plateaus, sun-drenched Mediterranean valleys—all woven together by centuries of winemaking heritage. Nowhere else in Europe do terroir and tradition combine with such dazzling variety: sparkling wines drawn from chalky soils, saline coastal whites shaped by ocean breezes, aromatic reds from windswept hillsides, and age-worthy classics matured deep in cool cellars.

This tasting brings together benchmark expressions from across the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the breadth of indigenous grapes, the mastery of regional craftsmanship, and the sheer stylistic diversity that defines Spanish wine today. From vibrancy and freshness to depth and longevity, these selections embody Spain’s singular ability to honor history while thrilling modern palates.
