The valley air is warm and dry as the van leaves Athens' stone grid and pushes toward the low, sun-baked hills of Attica. Olive groves and scrub brush blur past; vineyards open in ordered rows where Savvatiano vines have taken root for centuries. In this private tasting loop you move from barrel rooms to terraces, cupping five premium pours at each stop and hearing the small, practical stories that shape modern Greek wine.
