Greece, Georgia & Armenia Wine Tasting at City Centre: The Oldest Story in Wine
Some of the world’s most fascinating wines don’t come from famous labels or familiar grapes — they come from places where winemaking began. The Oldest Story in Wine is a unique tasting dedicated to Greece, Georgia, and Armenia, three countries at the very heart of wine’s 6,000-year history.
Hosted at Loki Great Western Arcade, this event shines a light on regions that are quietly redefining modern wine. Expect indigenous grape varieties, ancient techniques, and flavours that feel both timeless and thrillingly new. From sun-soaked Mediterranean freshness to amber wines fermented in clay vessels, this tasting is about discovery, history, and pure character.
Guided by one of Loki’s expert hosts, you’ll taste seven wines that tell a story far older than Bordeaux or Burgundy — yet feel completely relevant today.
