Welcome — I am Vivian, founder and curator of Bespoke Food Tours.
I’m Vivian Tokatlian, founder of Bespoke Food Experiences, born-and-raised Athenian, beekeeper, tour leader, wine sommelier and your guide to discovering the true soul of Greece.
With roots in both Greece and Armenia, I grew up in the heart of Athens, surrounded by the aromas of home-cooked meals, the stories of my grandparents and great-grandparents, and the magic that happens when people gather around a table. Their love, wisdom, and cherished recipes shaped who I am today.
Food, for me, has always been more than nourishment. It’s a living story. It’s history, culture, tradition, people and nature… all in one plate. Over the years, I’ve come to see how deeply connected everything is: the land, the people, the flavors, the myths…. And now, I’m excited to share that passion with you!
During my food experiences, you’re not just tasting local dishes, you’re experiencing a storytelling journey. Every bite has a backstory, every street corner has a legend, and every market stall echoes with tradition.
Bespoke food tours goal is to communicate the treasures of greek gastronomy, local food and recipes as well as their origins. Showing you the authentic local shops which, dating back as long as a century, represent the Athens of a forgotten era. An Athens that still lives in basement taverns or in small arcades.
Get to know the locals and their life stories, their passion, their courage and devotion to what they do best: FOOD! Old recipes and traditions passed on from previous generations tell us a story of innocence, family moments and shared values. I enthusiastically welcome you to be my guests! Come and immerse yourselves in a sensory experience of a food tour.
Taste it! smell it! See it! Hear it! Feel it! It’s all about sharing the ideas, cultural and traditional values, memories, experiences and local stories of this beloved city, Athens!
