Attica Wineries

Greeks know a thing or two about viniculture. Archaeological evidence indicates they've been making wine for over 4000 years. The region due east of Athens known as Attica is quite prominent in the country's wine culture. We invite you to take advantage of your proximity to Attica wineries the slow motion way, by bicycle. The roads are primarily rural in this agricultural region full of grape vineyards, fig farms and pistachio orchards. The tour visits five wineries including an organic winery which won Greece's first award for its bio-climatic system. At these wineries you have the opportunity to taste several different varieties of locally produced wine. For example, Sabatiano, Attica's indigenous wine, comes from a white grape that withstands the summer temperatures and produces a wine with an aroma of citrus fruit and flowers.
