"The Nemean Experience" Day Tour

Service Description

We visit Nemea, the ancient wine producing region in the Peloponnese, just an hour and a half from the center of Athens. What will we actually do during this full day tour? We will experience the greek wine! We meet at 10am in the city centre, where our luxury van will be awaiting for our pickup and the experience begins. The leisure time spent in the van is accompanied by an extensive audio tour and beautiful views of the Saronic and Corinthian gulfs, before the scenery begins to shift to the rolling hills of mainland Peloponesse. At around 11:30 we arrive at the first winery, where our dedicated guide takes us through an immersive experience: the history of the vineyard, including a tour of the wine cellar and winery which ends with an extensive tasting of 6 selected wines. Then, it's back to our limo mini van for a 20 minute drive to the next winery. A new winery means a different approach to the art of wine making, the history and terroir and the techniques involved. We experience it fully, see the wines aging in a state-of-the-art cellar and production facilities, while having enough time to traverse the vineyard and indulge in the unique views. The visit ends with the tasting of 4 to 5 different wines, depending on the season. The Nemean part of our trip draws to an end, but only a 20 minute drive away is the gastronomic epilogue to our trip. An ideally placed fish tavern located in the historic town of Corinth and its picteresque harbour for a full afternoon lunch of Greek seafood with a modern spin. Fresh salads, traditional appetizers, and luscious seafood pasta, accompanied by the most suitable wines from our visits. Carefully selected from the winemakers, the wine picks elevate and pair with the tastes on our table, giving all a chance to exchange their experience through scent and taste! Finally, after enjoying your meal and wines, you are about to lay back and enjoy a relaxing drive back to Athens.
