WELCOME TO CORFU WINE
Corfu Wine is the brainchild of Dimitri Catechis, a passionate and highly experienced Greek wine professional. Here he can personally share his love, knowledge and experience of Greek wine history, culture and the unique grape varieties.
The Corfu Wine tastings are designed to showcase the variety of grapes and styles from the regions all over Greece.
Many of these wine tastings are offered at Dimitri's famous family seafood restaurant Flisvos Seaside Experience, located right in front of a Corfu iconic monument, the Monastery of Vlaherena, built in the 17th century.
Following our tasting experiences participants can enjoy lunch at Flisvos Seaside, visit the monastery, take a short a boat ride to Mouse Island, or enjoy plane spotting as the planes land and take off right above you!
