Error  code: AA76601F
com/amazonaws/ClientConfiguration Unable to connect to the Amazon Athena server "athena.us-west-2.amazonaws.com". Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges to the requested database.

Answer

Check if to connect to Amazon Athena you need ports 443 (ssl) and 444 to be open and also proper permissions are there.  Also Athena connects to Tableau via an Athena JDBC driver, ensure you have proper version.
