Fteri Vinum Vinoteca

In the heart of Psyrri, it offers a complete experience of wine, culture, and Greek culinary tradition.

Unlike hard liquor, which is generally considered a solitary drink, wine is something entirely different. The ancient saying «let me come into the fellowship of wine» can today, in a free translation, simply imply social interaction (parties, entertainment, etc.) with wine as the common thread. However, its deeper meaning, in its original conceptual version, refers to participation in a broader social experience, during which spirituality and culture operate alongside entertainment and gustatory pleasure.

Experience has shown that, for all of the above to coexist, a connective tissue is required. This, as the aforementioned phrase aptly suggests, is none other than wine – along with, of course, a space that, for various reasons, invites you to communicate. The anthropocentric ecosystem of the Psyrri area has for several years now evolved into a prerequisite for quality entertainment and continues to be able to ensure such a space.

This exact philosophy is also what tries to make its own Fteri Vinum Vinoteca. The interesting element of this story – and the essential question – is the fact that the soul of the space, the Martina Chronopoulou, It is deeply «fermented» with the wine after He grew up in the family winery in Tripoli. It has the wine-producing roots, but also the passion and love required for an undertaking of this nature.

Fteri Vinum Vinoteca is nestled at the beginning of the well-known Taki Street, in a mid-19th-century «trichoro» building. Spatially, its main features are a beautiful reception area, ideal for wine tastings, a second, more private area for those seeking privacy, and, of course, the roof garden, which operates year-round and allows wine lovers to enjoy a complete experience based on wine—but not only.

As for the field of taste, it is naturally divided into two parts. The first and foremost is wine. The wine collection of Fteri Vinum Vinoteca, based on its 70 labels – and several off the list – serves the Greek vineyard and the Greek producers. It aspires to be representative, and succeeds, presenting a small panorama of quality Greek wine, in which truly small and quality producers hold a prominent place. The wine list is not for show; it is substantive.

In the equation, of course, there is also the culinary proposal, which is firmly rooted in the Greek landscape and proposes dishes that evoke images of home and tradition. Among the options that arrive on the table, we highlight several, but we will not mention specific dishes as the menu is seasonal and changes frequently, depending on the raw material of the season. An excellent choice for wine lovers is also the exquisite cheese and cold cuts platter.

An important element of the space is also the cellar, which is worth visiting and allows customers to choose the wine they will subsequently taste. The fact is that today, delivery and fast food dominate. Fortunately, however, for the few who still choose quality, there are still some bold individuals who insist on offering dining spaces with class, identity, and substance.
