Greek island hopping wine cruise

It’s Time To Re-Discover Greek Wine

Greek wine is going through an exciting revival, and this wine cruise is one of the best ways to experience it. As you sail between the islands, you’ll discover how modern winemakers are creating fresh, distinctive styles that reflect their landscapes and traditions. Many of these wines are produced in small quantities and rarely found outside Greece, making this an ideal opportunity to taste them in the places where they are made.

A Guided Wine Experience with an Industry Expert

Your host for this journey is Tim Clarke, a recognised leader in wine tourism. For more than three decades, Tim and his wife Lynette Arblaster have explored and supported Greek wine across both the mainland and the islands. Drawing on his extensive knowledge, Tim has selected the estates, wines and pairings featured throughout this itinerary, offering insight that enhances every tasting and vineyard visit.

Discover Greek Wine and Cuisine as You Sail

During your wine cruise, Tim will guide you through Greece’s wine story—from ancient traditions to the producers shaping its future. You’ll enjoy winery visits, relaxed lunches and tutored tastings that reveal how island and mainland soils influence different wine styles. Along the way, you’ll explore the grape varieties, regions and flavours that make Greek wine so rewarding to discover.
