From Athens: Nemea Myth and Wine Experience with Wineries visit & hearty dinner

Join us for a truly decadent day-trip, filled with exquisite wines, delicious Greek food, dramatic mythology, and breathtaking scenery, in a region considered to be the crown jewel of Greek viticulture; Nemea. Visit the archeological site of Nemea and the impressive Wisdom of Nature, where you'll be introduced to organic grape farming and balsamic vinegar production, enjoy wines at two prestigious vineyards and end your day with a hearty 5-course dinner accompanied by award-winning wine from this fertile region. Appreciate this wonderful experience as you watch the magical landscapes of the Peloponnese pass by on your drive home, comfortable and safe in the knowledge that you've made the most out of your day in Greece!

Begin your day by hopping on the modern vehicle that will take you to Nemea. Upon arrival, explore the ancient site of Nemea on a guided tour where your local, expert guide will show you the Temple of Nemean Zeus, the pride of the ancient Macedonian’s building program. Discover why Nemean Zeus was not of the same character as the fulminating Olympian Zeus and see the impressive Ancient Stadium that was built in 330 B.C and still holds games to this day!

From the mythological feats of bravery, we take you to discover another talent the ancients had, apart from story-telling: winemaking! At a local winery, taste 3-5 of their best wines, from deep reds to refreshing whites and summertime rosés, while you learn about modern Greek wine and try a variety of cheeses from across Greece.

We continue to your second winery, where we give you an introduction to the deep, ruby red variety of Agiorgitiko, a captivating wine with aromatic complexity and a smooth finish. You will discover for yourself the excellence of this variety, as you will taste 3 to 5 of its different wines, accompanied by cheeses, specially selected to complement the labels.

Enhance your whimsical adventure with a visit to the impressive Wisdom of Nature, where you'll be introduced to organic grape farming and the production of balsamic vinegar by locals that have devoted their lives to the Nemean land.

End your Greek wine endeavors and the exploration of the region of Nemea in the best way possible: a Greek feast accompanied by an impeccable view over the Nemean valley. There, you will have the opportunity to sit down to a delicious 5-course dinner of traditional dishes made with fresh, local products.  As the sun sets, enjoy your evening with good food, good company and of course, the finest wines of the Nemea region, before hitting the road and returning to Athens in comfort and luxury!
