Description:

Visit one of the most important cities of ancient times, Corinth, and then get an introduction to Greece’s traditional viticulture with a wine tasting at one of the most famous Greek wineries, Nemea.

Drive along the scenic Greek coast en route to Corinth, a city blessed with natural springs and fertile land. Once the center of trade of ancient Greece, the city also played a key role in many Greek wars because it connects the mainland with the Peloponnese. This megalopolis was the place where Apostle Paul came, worked, and established a thriving church.

Visit the Agora—a place of gathering and assembly—which was the center of athletic, artistic, and political life of the city. Step into an impressive monument from the pre-Roman period, the Temple of Apollo, built in 650 BC. Wander around the pillars and along walls of this ancient shrine.

On your way to Nemea Vineyard, listen as your guide tells you the history of the region and the cultural and religious significance of wine. Tour the state-of-the-art wine production facilities, and learn about the production of Greek red wine. Venture to the underground cellars, which hold more than 1000 French oak wine barrels, called barriques. Finally, taste some of the best wines of the domain from at least 3 different vineyards.
