Wine Tasting & Rhodes Old Town Tour

Experience two sides of Rhodes! Discover the Medieval town of Rhodes and sample mouth-watering modern Greek wines on our Rhodes Wine & Medieval History tour.

Magnificent medieval monuments, a beautifully preserved Old Town, and a private wine tasting. This exclusive half-day tour is perfect for wine lovers and history buffs who want to immerse themselves in the medieval history of Rhodes and discover why modern Greek wines are becoming so popular.

The Wine Tasting and Rhodes Old Town Tour begins by introducing you to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rhodes Town. Secured behind a deep moat within a double ring of lofty walls, Rhodes Old Town is like a medieval time capsule, transporting visitors back to the era of the Knights of St. John.

Your passionate, knowledgeable guide will lead you on a tour through the atmospheric, winding streets, pointing out medieval monuments and describing how the battles and sieges faced by the Hospitaller Knights shaped the town.

The medieval Rhodes walking tour concludes at the Palace of the Grand Masters, a 14^th century fortified castle that was restored in the 1930s. Today, it’s a museum housing medieval furniture, elaborate mosaics, and archaeological exhibits from across the island. Once you’ve finishing exploring the palace, you’ll wander down the famous Street of the Knights, the best-preserved medieval street in Europe.

Our final destination is the Inn of Auvergne, built in 1507. We’ll settle into the beautiful back garden where you can taste award-winning local wines while lunching on traditional Greek meze.

  Well worth it!
We booked a 1 1/2-hr tour of Rhodes’ Jewish Quarter through Viator. Our guide Mary was on time, personable, and very knowledgeable. Beyond conveying the facts of Rhodes’ Jewish history, Mary was able to effectively place that within the broader context of Greek history. We had a great experience. We’d recommend her and the tour to anyone with an interest in Jewish history.

  Excellent tour, Excellent guide
Excellent tour , Anna was our guide, she was such a lovely person, very knowledgeable and she loves Rhodes, we learned such a lot from her. She tailored the tour to our needs, as one of our family has mobility problems. We ended up at the wine tasting in the old town at Romeos, which was so good, Micheal had great knowledge of the wines we were served, all very good, we had tapas with each wine. We totally recommend this tour, it was excellent and worth every penny, a fabulous way to spend an afternoon in the wonderful old town of Rhodes.

Excellent wine tasting. Food and wine pairings were spot-on. Excellent location and learned a lot about the basics of tasting. Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly Sommelier. Worth the price.

  Wonderful walking tour of Old Town Jewish Quarter and
My husband and I signed up for a tour of the Old Town Jewish Quarter including the synagogue and attached museum. Our guide, Mariana, was fantastic!! She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish community of Rhodes and showed us things we would never have found on our own. Mariana is a mature, thoughtful person who was very easy to spend time with.In addition, she generously took us to see the Christian quarter which allowed us to learn even more about this beautifully preserved area of Rhodes. We thoroughly enjoyed our Viator tour with Mariana and would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about Old Town Jewish Quarter history.

  A learning experience
We were gifted the wine tasting by my daughter at Christmas. Although we do drink wine we shop in Aldi, and get the same every week. So we didn’t know what to expect from a wine tasting evening. However, we were pleasantly surprised. We were fascinated by some of the methods of wine making. Especially the wine that is matured under the sea. We learned about the history of Greek wine making and how much of the technique had been lost, but is slowly being regained.My wife explained that she only drank wine with Lemonade. Our host was shocked and said they didn’t have any Lemonade on Rhodes island😀.We were surprised on how much the flavour of the wine and food changed between the different types of wine.All together a wonderful experience we thoroughly enjoyed. We would recommend this for beginners and experienced wine goers.

  A good tour guide of Rhodes and It's Jewish Community
She is a wonderful tour guide. She informed us about many aspects of Rhodes which I found very interesting. I wanted to know as much as possible about the old city since my grandparents were born and lived there until moving to the US in the early 1920s. Our tour was made more cumbersome since grandchildren would have rather been at the pool at our hotel. Our guide was very patient. Overall, a wonderful experience.

  Amazing
We spent 15 days on vacation and by far this company planned the absolute best private tour. Out of season we wanted to have a wine tasting experience and they made it happen. We had a private tasting in the city in a most beautiful private villa. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and super friendly. We recommend this company. Attention to detail was excellent. I am 100% sure all their tours are excellent.
