Description

An original immersion in the flavours of ancient Greece

The Ancient Greek Sangria Workshop offers a unique sensory experience, inspired by the convivial practices of ancient Greece. This activity plunges you into the world of spiced wine as it was consumed in antiquity, long before modern recipes. You’ll discover a historic beverage in a fun, accessible and cultural way.

From the outset of the workshop, the emphasis is on transmission and sharing. Participants explore the origins of ancient wines, the use of spices, herbs and fruits, and the social role of these beverages in everyday Greek life. As a result, the experience goes far beyond simple tasting.

Understanding the basics of ancient Greek sangria

Unlike contemporary sangria, the ancient Greek version is based on a subtle blend of wine, natural ingredients and herbs that have been used for centuries. In the course of the workshop, you’ll learn to recognize these elements, understand their functions and dose each component.

Clear, step-by-step explanations make it easy for anyone to follow the process. So, even without any prior knowledge, you’ll be able to grasp the basics of this historic beverage while discovering anecdotes linked to ancient banquets.

A friendly, participatory workshop

The Ancient Greek Sangria workshop is above all participatory. Participants take part in the preparation, handle the ingredients and experiment with flavor combinations. What’s more, the atmosphere is deliberately relaxed, encouraging exchange and curiosity.

Each step is accompanied by accessible explanations, making the experience fluid and enjoyable. As a result, the workshop is equally suited to curious travelers, gastronomic enthusiasts and history buffs.

Tasting and sharing

Once preparation is complete, it’s time for a tasting session. This is the moment to appreciate the result, while discussing sensations, tastes and differences with today’s beverages. The experience concludes with a convivial moment, true to the spirit of Greek banquets.

Tasting then becomes a highlight of the workshop, combining cultural discovery and gustatory pleasure.
