A world of wine-tasting in Nemea
Description
Nemea is the largest and oldest wine region in Greece. The wines produced here are of high quality while there are some varieties which are unique in the world such as the red "Agiorgitiko" . There are dozens of wineries to visit, each with its own varieties and wine labels. We have chosen those that will offer you the best wine tasting experience and we will visit two them! Nemea is also known in mythology for Hercules who killed the vicious Lion that lived in the area and Nemean Games, dedicated to Zeus and familiar to the Olympic games. So there can be an optional visit to the archaeological site of ancient Nemea

We’ll see briefly the famous Corinth Canal, the mountain that hosts the Acropolis of Corinth and Ancient Corinth and we’ll head towards the mountainous part of the region where Nemea is.
We will have the opportunity to talk about the wine and the whole process from fruit harvesting to extracting the grape juice, the process of fermentation to wine and finally the bottling process. We’ll take a closer look to all facilities of the winery and explain how it works. We’ll be more than happy to take any questions arise.

We booked a private tour for two from Loutraki to the Nemea wine region through this travel agency. The organization was excellent, and Eleni was always available by WhatsApp. We had a minivan with an English-speaking driver, Dimitros, who showed us around and explained everything. We were very grateful to him. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We visited the Corinth Canal, the archaeological site of Nemea with the Temple of Zeus, an interesting museum, and an ancient stadium. We also visited two wineries with tastings, including several wines with snacks. At the first winery, Barafakas, we were shown the production process, and at the wine tasting, we really enjoyed their red wine, Apocalypsis, and bought a bottle to take home. The second winery, Karamitsos, offered incredibly beautiful panoramic views of the vineyards, the town of Nemea, and the mountains with monasteries. It's absolutely beautiful there.
We are glad that you had a great time! Thank you for your review.
I cannot say enough good things about this agency. They went out of their way to make our large family trip of 7 to greece very personal and welcoming. Their recomendations and drivers ( I would call them touring hosts) were well above expectations...Thank you Leo!!!! They were extremely accomodating even if they did not offer the services we were looking for they offered other venders that could assist us. If you are new to Greece ....start here first, you will not go wrong. I wish you all well travels! - Bridget an Family!
