About This Experience
Corfu Old Town's only dedicated wine tasting room, ten seats, a certified sommelier, and Greece's boutique wines poured with Corfiot bites: CHOES Reserve is the island's serious wine address, and this tasting is the way in. The format offers two depths. The Journey Option runs one hour and four wines, with Corfiot bites served on a shared platter, the perfect aperitivo-hour introduction. The Discovery Option doubles the commitment: two hours, six wines, each glass paired individually with its own bite, the full sommelier-constructed experience for palates that want the reasoning with the pour. The wines are the point of difference: handpicked boutique Greek labels, crisp island whites through bold mainland reds, the small-production bottles that never reach tavern lists, selected and narrated by a certified sommelier whose commentary turns Greece's indigenous grapes, Assyrtiko, Xinomavro and their cousins, from names into preferences. The intimacy is structural: limited to ten guests, the tasting room keeps every session conversational, questions welcome, tangents encouraged, and the Old Town location, on Gkilford Street amid the Venetian lanes, means you arrive on foot and leave into Corfu's most atmospheric evening streets. Water and palate-cleansers punctuate the flights. Greek wine remains Europe's best-kept secret, and Corfu, better known for its beaches, hides this one particularly well: a dedicated room doing for the country's boutique producers what the island's sunsets do for photographers. Wine Trails books your seats online with instant confirmation, direct with CHOES Reserve, no middleman markup. Evening sessions pair naturally with the Old Town's dinner hour, the sommelier's restaurant recommendations are worth recording verbatim, and the ten-seat cap means summer dates genuinely sell out. Book ahead, choose Discovery if wine is why you travel, and arrive thirsty for the island's quieter excellence. Every Corfu evening offers another taverna; only one offers a sommelier, ten chairs and Greece's finest small-batch wines in a Venetian old town. Choose your depth, Journey or Discovery, and let the island's quietest room deliver its loudest surprise.

Afternoon Fine wine in Corfu town
Lovely afternoon here sampling some delicious Greek cuvee rose. Olga our host was absolutely fantastic, very knowledgable and great at making customers feel well looked after - what an asset to this business. Thankyou & good luck I’m sure you’ll continue to thrive.
Not to be missed
Stumbled across this lovely place a week ago before going to Albania. It was so lovely that I have extended my stay to take my gf there tonight! Had been travelling with a friend and I dont want her to miss out on the wine or the snacks
