Saronic Islands wine tasting

• 
  From €20

Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world — and on Poros Island, you get to taste that history glass by glass. Head to the Madusa Room, where a local host pours five delicious wines with local meats and cheeses, plus the showstopper: the infamous blue wine, 'Pino Blue'.

Where can you do a real Greek wine tasting on Poros Island?

The Madusa Room. Run by a Poros local who knows the island's wine story inside out, it's where you sit down and actually taste Greece — not just sail past it.

What makes ancient Greek wine varietals different?

Many of the wines on offer come from grape varietals grown in Greece for thousands of years — long before "New World" wine existed. That heritage lives on in Retsina, Greece's signature style, traditionally sealed with pine sap to preserve it in transport. The result: a distinctive, slightly resinous character you won't find anywhere else. Less "wine tasting," more "drinking a piece of history."

What is Greece's famous blue wine?

Meet 'Pino Blue' — naturally blue, utterly unique, and the tasting's showstopper. It's the kind of wine that gets a reaction the second it hits the glass (and your camera roll).

What food is served with the Poros wine tasting?

Every wine is paired with local meats and cheeses — simple, punchy, and made to be shared, the way Greek islanders have snacked for centuries.

Why book this with MedSailors on Poros?

Because it's hosted by someone who actually lives there, not a script off a laminated card. Ancient Greek energy, Retsina, and a genuinely rare blue wine — this is the add-on that turns "we stopped in Poros" into "that wine tasting was epic" — the story that outlasts the tan lines.
