Wine Festivals in Greece 2026

A three-day January celebration of Xinomavro — Greece's most complex and age-worthy red grape, often compared to Barolo — held in the wine town of Naoussa in Macedonia. Now in its 10th anniversary edition, the event pairs welcome parties at local wine bars with formal producer tastings and vineyard walks in the dramatic northern Greek landscape. An unmissable winter wine event for anyone serious about Greek wine.

Three days each September when around 30 Nemea wineries simultaneously open for visits and tastings of Agiorgitiko — Greece's most important red grape, producing wines that range from light rosé to profound, age-worthy reds. The opening symposium 'The Symposium of Angels' frames the weekend's explorations, and winery access normally unavailable to tourists becomes freely granted. A must for anyone discovering Greek wine.
