About this tour
This is a short planning call for travellers wanting to taste Rhodian wine and souma, the local grape spirit, without wasting an afternoon on the wrong stops. Grigoris asks about your taste and how much time you have, then suggests two or three producers that fit together well. He draws on years of tasting his way around the island's smaller wineries.
The call opens with questions about your taste in wine and spirits, then Grigoris explains his suggestions and why each one fits. He keeps the route realistic given driving times between producers. You leave with a short written plan for the afternoon.
This suits travellers planning to hire a car and taste independently who want a route worked out in advance. It also helps anyone unfamiliar with Rhodian wine who wants a simple starting point.

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Rhodes: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
