what to expect?
A curated journey through thessaloniki’s craft underground
Most travelers see Thessaloniki through its ancient ruins and waterfront cafes. But behind unsuspected doors lies a different kind of history: The Greek Craft Beer Revolution. In a country where wine and industrial lagers have ruled for centuries, a small group of rebels is fighting to put their soul in a glass. ThessVentures isn't a walking tour; it is your "backstage pass" to the people, the passion, and the science behind the most exciting subculture in Greece.
Who Is This For?
This is for the Culturally Curious. You don't need to know the difference between a Lager and an Ale to join us. You just need to be someone who values authenticity, supports local makers, and wants to experience Thessaloniki like a local "insider."
Who Is Your Guide?
Led by a certified beer expert (Level 2 Award in Beer by WSET; Recognized Beer Judge) and local enthusiast, we strip away the "tourist" labels to show you the city’s soul, one fresh glass at a time.

Client Reviews
“This was a fantastic tour! I know that Greece is known for its wines, but I'm much more of a beer connoisseur, so I was very excited to see this tour offered. And, it turns out, Greece has a lot of really great craft beers! Diego was super knowledgeable about all things beer, from brewing techniques, to history, to the intricacies of the Greek market and the locations we visited. The walk from brewery to brewery was also nice in order to avoid getting too tipsy! It was a really fun experience in general, and I would absolutely recommend it :)”
— Dayba R“We had a great time doing this tour. We were introduced to the greek craft beer world by a
very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We got to know not only great beers but also great
pubs. Definitely will recommend to anyone visiting Thessaloniki.”
— Diana SExcellent beer-focused tour in Thessaloniki! It was delivered specially in Portuguese as we are Brazilians. It was interesting, fun, and we learned a lot about beer and some local curiosities. Definetely something to repeat if we return. Thank you Diego for being such a great host!
