At Vlachos Deli, we offer a unique Honey Tasting & Team Building Experience that connects people through taste, learning, and Greek tradition.

With over 20 years of experience in event organization, we design memorable, tailor-made sessions where teams explore the fascinating world of Greek honey, guided by a local beekeeper and supported by our expert agronomist.

Did you know?

• Honey has been part of Greek culture for over 4,000 years. Ancient Greeks called honey “the food of the gods” and used it in both diet and medicine.

• Studies from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens confirm that Greek forest honey, especially oak honey, has some of the highest antioxidant and antimicrobial properties worldwide.

• Greek honey contains higher mineral content (such as potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium) than many honeys produced in other countries.

• According to the Hellenic Ministry of Rural Development, more than 1.3 million bee colonies are active in Greece, most of which are maintained by small, traditional beekeepers, ensuring product purity and traceability.
