✔ The first bioclimatic winery in Greece, designed for a notably reduced carbon footprint with saving of a 30% in energy consumption in comparison to the usual standards.

Our day begins in the heart of Athens, leading us along the picturesque coastal line to the southern suburbs, where we'll explore the world of sustainable agriculture at one of Attika's premier geothermally heated greenhouses. Here, amidst lush hydroponic cultivation, we'll uncover the secrets of modern farming practices. Engaging in a dynamic Q&A session with the greenhouse owners, we'll gain invaluable insights into their personal journey, the challenges of production, and the innovative techniques employed to ensure quality and sustainability.

Enriched with newfound knowledge, our excursion continues eastward to explore one of the region's best wineries. Nestled among rolling vineyards, we'll embark on a journey through the lifecycle of the grape, tracing its story from vine to bottle. Delving into the winery's history, terroir, and best practices, we'll engage in insightful discussions with experts in the art of winemaking. Whether a seasoned connoisseur or an amateur enthusiast, all will relish the opportunity for a guided wine tasting experience, sampling five exquisite wines complemented by artisanal cheese platters.

As the day draws to a close, our tour concludes where it began, with a brief stop at the International Airport of Athens, for those bidding farewell to Athens or embarking on other adventures.

We will be happy to have you with us for a day of discovery and delight as we uncover the rich tapestry of Attika's agricultural heritage. Further details will be shared via personal email to all participants in the tour.
