"Wine, window into a man"

- Alcaeus of Mytilene (c. 625/620 – c. 580 BC)

From Homer to today, wine has been an integral part of Greek society.

In this evening of celebrating Greek wines, hear a number of short talks from archaeologists and historians about the important role of wine in the ancient Greek world and how this manifests itself in the way Greeks engaged with the gift of Dionysus.

Then courtesy of the Greek Trade Commission join us for a wine tasting event, in which we sample a variety of wines from vineyards across Greece and celebrate the legacy of Hellenic wine from ancient to modern.

This event is presented with Trader Commission of the Hellenic Republic and the Greek Festival of Sydney.
