The best way to get transported to a taste of the Mediterranean lifestyle in Raleigh is to dine at the Taverna Agora Greek Kitchen & Bar near the Warehouse District of downtown.
This open-air Mediterranean Oasis overlooks Hillsborough St and is a tastefully designed, tree-shaded space with lush green vines wrapped around trellises, classic Greek Statues, and olive trees.
Sunday Brunch at Taverna Agora is the only brunch spot in Raleigh we’ve visited multiple times. You just can’t beat the complete experience, especially for special occasions, and especially when mimosas are only $3.
After the first sip of its earthy, herbal flavors I was hooked on this wine that told stories.
RETSINA GREEK WINE
It’s made mostly in Central Greece, where pine trees surround the vineyards. Its unique flavor comes from pine resin that is added during vinification and seals the wine vessels.
