Go on a journey to a modern, but rare, and unknown to many wine world, full of genuineness and history. Discover two of the four most well-known grapes of the Greek vineyard in the world’s best markets, the exotic Moschofilero-Mantinia and the amazing Agiorgitiko-Nemea. Delve into Greece's most important red-wine appellation, located in the northeast corner of the Peloponnese peninsula. The mountains and valleys surrounding the area of Nemea have been making wine for centuries, mainly from the native Agiorgitiko grape, ranging from rich dry wines to lighter, sweeter examples. Here, visit 2 of the more or less 40 wineries in the greater area.
After a 6-hour trip, go back to your hotel in Athens to enjoy the rest of the day at your own pace.
