    Who we are
    Oenosophy Wine Tours is a small, family-owned business. A husband and wife team living in Thessaloniki, Greece, we love Greek wine, food and wandering! Manos Nikolaou, born and raised in Kavala, Greece, is your personal tour planner and wine expert. Efi Siskos, born and raised in Seattle, WA, USA, is a wino and foodie in charge of communications.
    It was only natural that Oenosophy would be born as a way to share with others our knowledge of Greek wine, our passion for Greek food and our love of travel.

    Our story
    It all began a few years back, across the world in Seattle, WA, USA, where we met and collaborated with two very special and inspiring people—Thomas Soukakos, owner of Omega Ouzeri and Vios, and Ares Soultanos, founder of Eklektikon.
    Working along side them and witnessing their passion for Greek wine inspired us to start Oenosophy and share our own passion with others.

    Our vision
    Through Oenosophy, we hope to share our knowledge and passion of Greek wine with friends from around the world.
    We believe that Greece’s wines and the people behind them truly capture the essence of Greece. We hope to share our wine Odyssey with you!

Why Oenosophy?

At Oenosophy, we believe that to truly enjoy wine, you must take your time. Our tours are never rushed. We believe in this because this is the nature of wine itself —it needs time to age and mature, time to develop, time to be truly enjoyed. We believe that food plays an incredibly important role in all of this as well. Food and wine are meant to be enjoyed together. With friends. That’s the Oenosophy experience. We promise a personalized, unpretentious experience of Greek wines, nature and cuisine.

Our Network

We’ve built a network of wineries and restaurants spanning from Xanthi to Kastoria and from Goumenissa to Pelion. It includes a variety of wineries, from family-owned boutique wineries to larger, contemporary estates.

Through the Oenosophy network, we’ll taste indigenous Greek varieties, including Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Limniona, our beloved Xinomavro, and the ancient Limnio. We’ll also taste wines made from international varieties grown in Greek soil.

We’ll pick herbs and vegetables, learn how to make traditional fyllo for pies, and taste delicious and authentic local food. We’ll tour wine cellars, wander through vineyards and stroll along lakes and the sea. We’ll meet inspiring people and listen to their stories. In other words, we’ll experience the essence of Greece.
